Community composition and seasonal dynamics of microplastic biota in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea
Abstract Marine plastic pollution poses a growing environmental threat, with microplastics accumulating in the global oceans. This study profiles the seasonal dynamics and taxonomic composition of the plastisphere, the microplastic ecosystem, in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Using long-read 16 S an...
