Species-specific bioindicators of microplastic pollution in a shallow lake: Hydrological period drives benthic macroinvertebrate exposure in Baiyangdian Lake, China
Key Points
Benthic macroinvertebrates show significant exposure to microplastic pollution throughout different hydrological periods.
Key evidence indicates that varying hydrological periods affect species-specific bioindicators of pollution in lakes.
Observational analysis across Baiyangdian Lake examines the relationship between hydrological periods and pollution exposure.
These findings underscore the importance of monitoring microplastic pollution for aquatic biodiversity; further studies needed.
