Description:
Article Large oil spills have negative effects on marine ecosystems, but the effects of chronic smallscale spills are less well understood. Here, Brussaard et al . detect high bioavailability and toxicity of small-scale crude oil spills within 24 hours after release, which are associated with localised declines in marine plankton.
