Although the study of microplastics in the aquatic environment incorporates a diversity of
research fields, it is still in its infancy in many aspects while comparable topics have been …

Vibrational spectroscopy techniques provide a powerful approach to the study of
environmental materials and processes. These multifunctional analytical tools can be used …

Complex and organic-rich solid substrates such as sludge and soil have been shown to be
contaminated by microplastics; however, methods for extracting plastic particles have not yet …

The accumulation of plastic debris is a global environmental problem due to its durability,
persistence, and abundance. Although effects of plastic debris on individual marine …

Few studies have investigated the effects of structural heterogeneity (particularly the
interactions of silicon and carbon) on the mechanisms for the recalcitrance of biochar. In this …

Microplastics (MP) pollution has become a matter of global concern because of its several
deleterious effects on environmental health, especially on the terrestrial environment. The …

Sedimentological data and hydrogen isotopic measurements of leaf wax long-chain n-
alkanes (δD wax) from an alpine lake sediment archive on the southeastern Tibetan Plateau …

Tidal salt marsh is a key defense against, yet is especially vulnerable to, the effects of
accelerated sea level rise. To determine whether salt marshes in southern New England will …

The use of tracers within a sediment fingerprinting framework has become a commonly used
technique for investigating the sources of fine sediment. However, uncertainties associated …

Assessing biochar's ability to resist oxidation is fundamental to understanding its potential to
sequester carbon. Chemical oxidation exhibits good performance in estimating the oxidation …
