Abstract: The impact of microplastics on antibiotic resistance has attracted widespread attention. However, previous studies primarily focused on the effects of individual microplastics. In reality, diverse microplastic types accumulate in soil, and it remains less well… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvs.70036
Abstract: Dry grasslands are vulnerable to climate and land‐use change. Increasing temperatures, drought, grazing cessation and nitrogen deposition can all result in shifts in grasslands' taxonomic and functional composition. We tested the hypotheses that both species… read more here.

Abstract: LaManna et al. (Reports, 30 June 2017, p. 1389) claim that subadult trees are proportionally less common at high conspecific adult density (CNDD) and that this effect increases toward the tropics and for rare species.… read more here.
