Increasing usage of plastic has led to the deposition of plastic in the environment which later
become microplastic, a pollutant of global concern. These polymeric particles affect the …

Plastisphere research necessitates a multidisciplinary approach that integrates
microbiology, environmental science, and chemistry to gain a comprehensive …

Biofilm covered microplastics (BMPs) can act as vectors for the transport of exogenous
microbial groups to aquatic ecosystem. However, a consensus regarding the formation and …

How the plastisphere mediated by the residual microplastic film in farmlands affects
microhabitat systems is unclear. Here, microbial structure, assembly, and biogeochemical …

Abstract Changes in the functional groups of zooplankton were studied in autumn in a
temperate floodplain lake (Lake Sakadaš, Kopački Rit Nature Park, Croatia) and in the …

Among numerous research about marine plastisphere, the community living on the surface
of plastic debris, little attention was given to the ecological mechanisms governing …

Abstract Lake Jošava (Croatia) is a shallow reservoir surrounded by agricultural land. In the
present study, the trophic cascade was tested by examining the effects of stocking with …

The demand for macadamia nut production worldwide has led to increased use of pesticides
and chemicals for pest and disease control. Reservoirs in these macadamia farming sectors …

Aquatic environments, while not the target of many pesticide applications, often receive
chemicals through catchment runoff dynamics. In this regard, the use of pesticides in …
