Microplastics and Aquatic Limnology: Conception of Biogeochemical Processes

AI summary Read the abstract

This study explored how microplastics discharged into freshwater bodies alter natural biogeochemical cycles, including carbon and nutrient cycling, in ways that disrupt aquatic ecosystem function. These chemical disruptions can cascade through aquatic food webs, ultimately affecting the health of organisms—including humans—that depend on freshwater ecosystems.

Micro and Nanoplastics: Effect on Lentic Ecosystem

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed how micro- and nanoplastics affect still-water ecosystems like lakes and ponds, where plastics can accumulate over time and disrupt aquatic organisms at the base of the food chain. These effects may ultimately impact water quality and the fish and wildlife that humans rely on.
