Plastic pollution impacts on marine carbon biogeochemistry
Environmental Pollution, 2021 One of the major challenges in understanding the dynamics of the ocean's health and functioning is the potential impact of the increasing presence of plastic. Besides the verified and macroscopic effects on marine wildlife and habitats, micro and macroplastics offer potential sites for microbial activity and chemical leaching.
