Exploring the similarity of microplastic characteristics between amphibian larvae and their aquatic environment
Abstract
Microplastic pollution has become a pressing environmental concern globally, with its impact on various ecosystems increasingly studied. Among the affected ecosystems, aquatic environments play a crucial role, serving as habitats for diverse organisms, including amphibian larvae. This article aims to explore the similarity of microplastic characteristics between amphibian larvae and their aquatic environment. By examining the sources, distribution, ingestion and potential impacts of microplastics on amphibian larvae and their aquatic habitats, we can gain insights into the interconnectedness of these elements within ecosystems. Understanding these similarities is pivotal for devising effective mitigation strategies and safeguarding amphibian populations and their habitats.
