Conceptual model of global plants entrapping plastics

Environmental Reviews, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 32(4), С. 470 - 484

Опубликована: Май 11, 2024

Aquatic plants, seagrasses, macrophytes, mangroves, and riparian vegetation are responsible for some of the most important ecosystem services provided on Earth. Given their role in trapping plastics along rivers, we propose a new service plastic entrapment by global plants. Although research started recently to study plastics, little is known about patterns retention remobilization through different habitats. those gaps, synthesize data plants providing conceptual model describe processes vegetation. Our results demonstrate how has pivotal entrapping across spatial temporal scales, finding higher density rather than adjacent water area. Furthermore, proposed (i.e., Plant Plastic Pathway) highlighting scales release Thus, anticipate our be starting point more sophisticated future studies, putting effort into looking at plastic–vegetation dynamics. may have crucial effect if applied hotspot area detection with clean-up mitigation actions riverine ecosystems.

Prioritising plastic pollution research in blue carbon ecosystems: A scientometric overview

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 914, С. 169868 - 169868

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2024

The Blue Carbon Ecosystems (BCEs) comprising mangroves, saltmarshes, and seagrasses located at the land-ocean interface provide crucial ecosystem services. These ecosystems serve as a natural barrier against transportation of plastic waste from land to ocean, effectively intercepting mitigating pollution in ocean. To gain insights into current state research, uncover key research gaps related BCEs, this study conveyed comprehensive overview using bibliometric, altmetric, literature synthesis approaches. bibliometric analysis revealed significant increase publications addressing particularly since 2018. Geographically, Chinese institutions have made substantial contributions field compared countries regions with extensive BCEs established blue carbon science programs. Furthermore, many studies focused on mangrove ecosystems, while limited attention was given exploring saltmarsh, seagrass, multiple simultaneously. Through systematic analysis, identified four major themes BCE-plastics research: a) trapping by vegetated coastal b) microbial degradation, c) ingestion benthic organisms, d) effects biogeochemistry. Upon synthesising knowledge each theme, we employed perspective lens outline future frameworks, specifically emphasising habitat characteristics Emphasising importance synergistic between science, underscore opportunities progress our understanding reservoirs across their subsequent sequestration mineralisation. Together, outcomes review overarching implications for managing optimising climate mitigation through strategies.

Mangrove forests as a natural trap for marine plastic litter: Insights from the Maldives

Marine Pollution Bulletin, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 213, С. 117677 - 117677

Опубликована: Фев. 13, 2025

Plastic pollution poses a significant threat to coastal ecosystems, including mangroves, which naturally trap debris due their complex, three-dimensional structures. In the Maldives, inadequate plastic waste management exacerbates accumulation of in these critically endangered are characterized by unique morphologies consisting small patches with tide-influenced water bodies. Despite ecological and socio-economic importance, mangroves archipelago have remained undocumented terms pollution. This micro article presents first evidence Maldivian observed on four islands dominated species like Ceriops tagal, Bruguiera cylindrica, Rhizophora mucronata, Pemphis acidula. The high tree density structure act as natural traps for marine litter, particularly single-use PET bottles. These findings underscore urgent need conservation efforts policies prevent further degradation ensure long-term sustainability.
