Study in Environmental Pollution shows plastic pollution and seawater flooding harm coastal plant growth and reproduction.

A study in Environmental Pollution reveals the combined impact of plastic pollution and seawater flooding on coastal plant growth and reproduction. Researchers found that microplastics affect plant reproduction, while flooding causes greater tissue death, altering growth, resource allocation, and photosynthetic efficiency. The findings emphasize the need for addressing multiple co-occurring stressors to ecosystem resilience.
