Fragmentation of plastic waste in the environment can lead to formation nanoscale debris (NPD) size < 1 μm.

Floating and washed ashore marine plastic debris (MPD) is a growing environmental challenge. It has become evident that secluded locations including the Arctic, Antarctic, remote islands are being impacted by pollution generated thousands of kilometers away. Optical sensing MPD an emerging field can aid in monitoring environments where in-person observation data collection not always feasible. ...

Knowledge of the relative contribution of within-fi eld inoculum sources of Gibberella zeae to infection of local wheat and barley is important for developing and/or excluding strategies for managing FHB. Our experimental objective was to quantify the relative contribution of within-fi eld corn debris as an inoculum source of Gibberella zeae for Fusarium head blight and DON contamination in ten...
