Summary

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research extended a decade of work on microplastic effects in marine ecosystems by exploring new dimensions of how these particles interact with biological and geological systems, contributing to understanding of plastics as a defining feature of the Anthropocene era.

At the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research, biological and ecological effects of microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm) have been explored by scientists for a decade. Here we add to this research a new microplastic-related topic by exploring their...
