Biological and Ecological Impacts of Plastic Debris in Aquatic Ecosystems
Summary
Researchers reviewed the biological and ecological impacts of plastic debris in aquatic ecosystems, finding that effects span from individual organisms to entire ecosystems, though establishing clear cause-and-effect relationships remains scientifically challenging given the complexity of real-world environments.
Plastic debris is now ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems worldwide and may impact different biological levels of organisation, with effects ranging from individual organisms to ecosystem functioning. Demonstrating these effects is not always straightforward, and there...
