Concretions preserved archaeological artifacts for centuries. Now, anthropogenic metal core concretions (AMCCs) block rocky intertidal crevices which are important habitats for benthic organisms. Thus, AMCCs should be further investigated. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Our research topic "From Micro to Macro: Interactions of Marine Biota with Plastic Pollution" was recently published by Frontiers. It is now available as an open-access ebook. We thank all authors and reviewers for their contributions. frontiersin.org/research-top…

From Micro to Macro: Interactions of Marine Biota with Plastic Pollution

Marine plastic debris is a widespread contaminant that is found from shallow coastal waters to deep sea trenches worldwide. As a consequence, all marine life, from microscopic bacteria over algae and...

Marine plastic pollution is common worldwide. As a result, marine organisms from small to large are exposed to plastic debris. Thus, the research topic ‘From Micro to Macro’ explores the resulting interactions of marine biota with plastic pollution. frontiersin.org/journals/mar…
