As a common geo-engineering method to control internal load of nutrients and pollutants,
sediment dredging has been used in many freshwater basins and has achieved certain …

Passive sampling devices (PSDs) are increasingly used at contaminated sites to improve
the characterization of contaminant transport and assessment of ecological and human …

While several studies have reported success with remedial sediment dredging, the
sustainability of these impacts remain unclear. This preliminary study aimed to investigate …

Background Although considered as holobionts, macroalgae and their surface microbiota
share intimate interactions that are still poorly understood. Little is known on the effect of …

The adsorption of trace metals on microplastics (MPs) is affected by the presence of surficial
biofilms but their interactions are poorly understood. Here, we present the influence of Cu …

Human activities and climate change substantially threaten coastal areas, impacting
ecosystem functions, services, and human-wellbeing. Trace elements, from both natural and …

Diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) is a powerful analytical tool that has been widely used
to obtain concentration and distribution data of target analytes in waters, soils, and …

Toxic metal pollution is a leading environmental concern for aquatic systems globally, and
remedial dredging has been widely employed to mitigate its harmful impacts. In terms of the …

Pollution particularly affects coastal ecosystems due to their proximity to anthropic sources.
Among those environments, harbours are subjected to marine traffic but also to accidental …

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most impacted basins in terms of microplastics
pollution. Land-based activities are the major sources of plastic litter to the ocean, with …
