Investigating the potential uptake of microplastic-derived carbon into a boreal lake food web using carbon-13 labelled plastic

Investigating the potential uptake of microplastic-derived carbon into a boreal lake food web using carbon-13 labelled plastic

Microplastics degrade slowly over time, leaching carbon (C) that could be subsequently incorporated into aquatic food webs. Current estimates of microplastic degradation vary, and little is known about microplastic-derived C fate under natural environmental conditions. To investigate whether micropl...
