Subtropical gyres are hotspots for plastic pollution, and accumulation zones found within the North Pacific gyre, in Garbage Patch (NPGP). Plastic debris these offshore waters can persist decades mainly originate from fishing activities. The non-profit organization Ocean Cleanup aims to remove this legacy since August 2021, has removed over 480,000kg of area across 23 collection trips (6-7 weeks each). These cleanup operations create a unique opportunity monitor collect data on marine life...
Abstract Habitat fragmentation increases forest edges, which in turn influence the microclimate to ferns are exposed. Ferns do not depend on pollinators or dispersers, make abiotic variables responsible for triggering manifestation of their phenophases. Phenology has been an important tool understanding effects habitat plant behaviour. Our aims were compare phenology populations fern Ctenitis submarginalis at a natural edge, artificial edge and interior determine whether effect influence....
