Jae-Hoon Park et al.
Korean tidal flats are gaining attention for their high potential as blue carbon storages, but research on vegetated areas remains limited. To address this gap, this study examined the vertical distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) in h...
High resolution airborne and satellite remote sensing observations of coastal dissolved organic matter dynamics along the North Slope of Alaska [0.03%]
Jonathan Sherman,Maria Tzortziou,Kyle J Turner et al.
Jonathan Sherman et al.
The influx and transformation of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM), nutrients, and sediments transported by Arctic rivers significantly shape regional and coastal ecology, biogeochemical cycles, and ecosystem resilience. High-resol...
Toxicological effects of polypropylene nanoparticles similar in size to nanoplastics in plastic-bottled injections on mice and zebrafish [0.03%]
Hui-Min Sun,Jie Wang,Xian-Fu Wu et al.
Hui-Min Sun et al.
Nanoplastics may threaten human health, most current toxicological studies focus on polystyrene, but no study on polypropylene (PP) in plastic bottled injections for medical care. Based on the amount of nanoplastic from PP-bottled injection...
Quantifying the extent and rates of change in wetland ecosystem functional groups in the Maputaland Coastal Plain of South Africa [0.03%]
Heidi van Deventer,Philani Apleni,Laven Naidoo et al.
Heidi van Deventer et al.
Despite global concerns highlighting the threats to wetlands, monitoring and quantifying changes in palustrine wetland ecosystem extent remains inadequate. The feasibility of mapping the extent and rates of change of wetland Ecosystem Funct...
