ClearAssessing the Impact of Microplastic Pollution on Coastal Ecosystems: a Multidimensional Environmental Approach
This review presents a comprehensive multidimensional analysis of microplastic pollution in coastal ecosystems, covering sources, distribution pathways, ecological effects on marine organisms, and implications for environmental management. The authors draw on recent interdisciplinary research to assess how microplastics infiltrate nearly every ecological compartment from coastal waters to ocean sediments and interact with biological and chemical systems.
Dampak Mikroplastik terhadap Ekosistem Pesisir: Sebuah Telaah Pustaka
This Indonesian-language review examines the impacts of microplastics on coastal ecosystems, covering effects on marine organisms, sediment quality, and food web dynamics. The paper highlights the vulnerability of tropical coastal environments to plastic pollution from both land-based and marine sources.
Progress on microplastics pollution and its ecological effects in the coastal environment
This review systematically summarizes a decade of research on microplastic pollution and its ecological effects in coastal environments worldwide, identifying persistent technical challenges in sampling standardization, particle identification, and ecological impact assessment. Researchers highlight the need for unified methodologies to better understand the sources, fate, and biological consequences of coastal microplastic contamination.

Unveiling the complex impact of microplastics on environmental health, ecosystems, and humans
This comprehensive review consolidates current knowledge on microplastic pollution across marine, freshwater, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments. Researchers examined sources, transport pathways, impacts on living organisms, sampling techniques, and regulatory challenges, highlighting significant gaps in understanding the full scope of microplastic effects on ecosystems and human well-being.
Is soft-sediments ecosystem service delivery compromised due to microplastic pollution?
This review examines how microplastic pollution may compromise ecosystem service delivery in soft-sediment habitats, focusing on potential impacts on microphytobenthic microbial communities that underpin nutrient cycling, sediment stabilization, and food web productivity. The authors argue that because soft sediments act as microplastic sinks, their resident microbial communities face disproportionate exposure, and call for holistic research linking microplastic effects on microbial diversity and biogeochemical function to broader ecosystem service outcomes.
