Summary

Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of microplastic contamination in mangrove forests globally, finding these sensitive coastal ecosystems accumulate significant plastic particle loads that threaten biodiversity, disrupt ecological services like coastal protection and nutrient cycling, and create hotspots of environmental pollution.

Study Type Review

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants that pose a global environmental threat. Mangroves are sensitive ecosystems that provide free ecological services, including coastal protection, natural cycle management, hotspots, and economic benefits, but technically...
