Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Soil properties changes earthworm diversity indices in different agro-ecosystem
BMC Ecology, 2020 Background Earthworm communities are generally very sensitive to physico-chemical properties of the soil in different agro-ecosystem i.e. cultivated or non-cultivated which directly or indirectly influence the earthworm survival.

Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction?
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts (sedaDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sedaDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils.
