Efficiency of five samplers to trap suspended particulate matter and microplastic particles of different sizes.

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) plays a major role in nutrient cycles and for the transport of pollutants within local and transboundary water catchments. Obtaining representative SPM samples from rivers, lakes, inland and coastal waters is crucial for quantitative and qualitative chemical analyses to correctly describe the chemical status of a water body. However, a representative sampling of SPM over time is challenging due to the heterogeneity of SPM particles sizes, their non-uniform distribution in rivers, and a variety of sampling devices being in use.

Mango performance as affected by the soil application of zeolite and biochar under water salinity stresses.

This study was carried out during two consecutive seasons, 2020 and 2021, on 12-year-old mango (Mangifera indica L.). cv.
