Effect of a temperature rise on metal toxicity for the aquatic biota: a systematic review

Ecosystems are subject to various stress factors, such as temperature rises due to climate changes and metal disposal. Thermal stress can amplify or mask the effects of metals on aquatic organisms. This study aims to carry out a systematic review on the effects of temperature rises due to climate ch...
