Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Ecosystem metabolism (e.g., gross primary production [GPP], respiration [R], and net ecosystem production) integrates the activity of aerobic organisms and is an indicator of environmental change. Microplastics (i.e., particles 1–5 mm) are widespread in freshwater ecosystems and are colonized by biofilms and other organisms.

Global distribution of potential impact hotspots for marine plastic debris entanglement [PDF]
, 2022 Marine animals have been known to interact with and become entangled in plastic debris for decades. Despite increasing annual input volumes of plastic waste to the natural environment and the threat this constitutes to marine biodiversity, impacts of ...

Microplastic Detectability Investigation in Soils Using X‐Ray Microtomography
X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 387-398, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT X‐ray microtomography (microCT) is a promising tool for investigating microplastic (MP) contamination in soils, offering non‐destructive 3D visualization and quantitative analysis of particles embedded in complex matrices. This study evaluated its applicability by mixing plastic fragments (PET, PEHD, PS, and PP) with humus‐rich and sandy soils

Hydrology as a Driver of Floating River Plastic Transport
Earth's Future, 2022 Plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems is a growing threat to ecosystem health and human livelihood. Recent studies show that the majority of environmental plastics accumulate within river systems for years, decades and potentially even longer.

Investigating microplastic trophic transfer in marine top predators [PDF]
, 2018 Microplastics are highly bioavailable to marine organisms, either through direct ingestion, or indirectly by trophic transfer from contaminated prey. The latter has been observed for low-trophic level organisms in laboratory conditions, yet empirical ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 7, 8 April 2026.In this experimental study, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured Ti‐6Al‐4V lattice structures of different geometries are characterized using compression, four point bending and fatigue testing. While TPMS designs show superior fatigue resistance, SplitP and Honeycomb lattice structures combine high stiffness and strength. The resulting

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Using large image data sets has been the conventional strategy to improve object detection, but it increases annotation effort and training cost and does not guarantee robust transfer to new sites. Here we quantify the value of a small, diverse training set for floating macroplastic detection by jointly evaluating performance, computational ...

Pollution to Solution: Understanding and Addressing Microplastic Contamination in the Environment
Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Spring 2026.ABSTRACT In general, plastic pollution results from the unintentional release of macroplastic materials into the environment as well as the deliberate production and usage of small plastic particles (micro‐ and nano‐sized plastic particles) in a variety of consumer products micro and nanoplastics in filtrate freshwater and marine environments because ...

Plastic Plants: The Role of Water Hyacinths in Plastic Transport in Tropical Rivers
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Recent studies suggest that water hyacinths can influence the transport of macroplastics in freshwater ecosystems at tropical latitudes. Forming large patches of several meters at the water surface, water hyacinths can entrain and aggregate large amounts
