Despite increasing concerns about microplastic (MP) pollution in aquatic ecosystems, there
is insufficient knowledge on how MP affect fungal communities. In this study, we explored …

An important function of coastal ecosystems is the reduction of the nutrient flux from land to
the open sea, the coastal filter. In this study, we focused on the two most important coastal …

During the summers of 2009 and 2013, seawater pH and concentrations of dissolved
