Microplastics and nanoplastics: would they affect global biodiversity change?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Environmental Science and Pollution Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s11356-019-05414-5
Abstract: Micro(nano)plastics, new emerging contaminants, are ubiquitously found in the environment due to continuous release and accumulation. Widespread micro(nano)plastics can increase their exposure to organisms, pose threats to the ecological environment and human health, and potentially… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-09519-w
Abstract: While there is a clear demand for scenarios that provide alternative states in biodiversity with respect to future emissions, a thorough analysis and communication of the associated uncertainties is still missing. Here, we modelled the… read more here.
