DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2947
Abstract: Glaciers around the world support diverse, thriving ecosystems (Rosvold 2016; Hotaling et al. 2017a). Though dominated by microbial life, glaciers also provide key habitat for larger macroinvertebrates (Hotaling et al. 2019) and vertebrates (e.g., Rosvold… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17435390.2016.1277274
Abstract: Abstract This study evaluates the bioaccumulation of unweathered (U) and weathered (W) CuO in NP, bulk and ionic form (0–400 mg/kg) by lettuce exposed for 70 d in soil co-contaminated with field incurred chlordane. To evaluate… read more here.
