Abstract: Freshwater ecosystems are exposed to engineered nanoparticles through municipal and industrial wastewater-effluent discharges and agricultural non-point source runoff. Because previous work has shown that engineered nanoparticles from these sources can accumulate in freshwater algal assemblages,… read more here.

DOI: 10.4257/oeco.2021.2502.14
Abstract: Peixes podem contribuir direta e indiretamente na reciclagem de nutrientes em ambientes aquaticos, afetando a estrutura das comunidades e processos ecossistemicos. Atraves da excrecao de residuos metabolicos, os peixes redisponibilizam no ambiente nutrientes inorgânicos que… read more here.
