Polymer-dependent microbial responses to PBDEs-microplastic co-contamination in mangrove sediments.

Mangroves are biogeochemical hotspots that mediate carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycling, yet they are increasingly threatened by the co-occurrence of persistent organic pollutants and microplastics. Although the individual impacts of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and microplastics (MPs) have been documented, h...
