DOI: 10.1002/lol2.10040
Abstract: Mounting evidence of global plastic pollution has prompted many studies of its potential effects on aquatic ecosystems. In particular, most research has focused on organismal responses to microplastics and the effects of microplastics when introduced… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-020-04462-0
Abstract: Estuaries are complex systems where environmental fluctuations occur over distinct timescales due to local meteorological and large-scale climatic factors. Consequently, studies with low temporal resolution and taxonomic coverage may fail to detect isotopic variations in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106320
Abstract: Abstract The ecological communities supported by freshwater habitats and wetlands that persist from floodplain inundation generate numerous cultural, recreational and economic values via commercial fisheries and other human uses of these habitats. However, the alteration… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124685
Abstract: The impacts of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) on aquatic animals have been intensively studied; however, the extent and magnitude of potential effects of MNPs on aquatic primary producers are poorly understood. In this study, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.limno.2020.125794
Abstract: Abstract We aimed to demonstrate different input of organic and inorganic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus from three main groups of primary producers (phytoplankton, charophytes and vascular submerged macrophytes) to respective lake sediments. Studies were carried… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-42329-0
Abstract: Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations are contributing to ocean acidification (reduced seawater pH and carbonate concentrations), with potentially major ramifications for marine ecosystems and their functioning. Using a novel in situ experiment we examined impacts of… read more here.

Functional roles of coral reef primary producers examined with stable isotopes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Marine and Freshwater Research"
DOI: 10.1071/mf22103
Abstract: Context Primary production on coral reefs varies under changing conditions such as light and nutrient availability. This variation causes changes in basal stable isotopes as photosynthetic and nutrient pathways change. Aims This study provides a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08927014.2022.2088285
Abstract: Abstract Colonisation of artificial structures by primary producers is an important determinant for eco-engineering projects. In this context, interactions between the colonisation by microphytobenthic biofilm and macroalgae were explored on 48 samples of marine infrastructures… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d12020082
Abstract: Species invasions are changing aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Submerged aquatic macrophytes control lake ecosystem processes through their direct and indirect interactions with other primary producers, but how these interactions may be altered by macrophyte species invasions… read more here.
