TL;DR: The sources, occurrence, fate and effects of plastic waste in the marine environment are summarized, with land- and ocean-based sources being the major sources and domestic, industrial and fishing activities being the most important contributors.

TL;DR: Evaluating the Cd immobilization effects of sulfur or sulfur-iron modified biochar and its related microbial community changes in Cd-contaminated soils found that sulfur and iron were loaded on the raw biochar successfully and changed the microbial community.

TL;DR: The secretion of organic acids appears to be a functional metal resistance mechanism that chelates the metal ions extracellularly, reducing their uptake and subsequent impacts on root physiological processes.

TL;DR: Coastal beaches may represent a reservoir of highly fragmented and degraded microplastics that may be mobilised and returned to the sea during storm events, and further research on the dynamics and longevity ofmicroplastics on beaches will help reveal the mass balance of microplastic on the shoreline and determine whether shorelines are sinks or sources ofMicroplastics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview mainly from two aspects, the vegetation on the green roofs and its benefits toward the surrounding environments, they also provide some factors in choosing suitable plants on rooftops, factors including species that are drought tolerant, solar radiation tolerant, and cooling ability of plants.
