Floating microplastics in a coastal embayment: A multifaceted issue
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers assessed floating microplastic densities in a coastal embayment in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, collecting 1,182 floating microplastic samples and analyzing the influence of wind on their distribution. The study highlighted that surface floating plastics represent only a small fraction of total environmental plastics, underscoring the complexity of tracking plastic fate in coastal systems.
Fate and effects of macro-and microplastics in coastal wetlands
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset supports a study evaluating the stocks, fate, and biological and biogeochemical effects of macro- and microplastics in coastal wetland environments, including field-sampled plastic abundance data.
Varying levels of microplastics in benthic sediments within a shallow coastal embayment
AI summary Read the abstract
This study measured microplastic concentrations in subtidal sediments within a shallow coastal embayment, finding wide spatial variation and higher concentrations near areas with more human activity. Subtidal sediments are consistently found to be important accumulation zones for microplastics, but are less frequently sampled than intertidal or beach environments.
Model results for the total particle count and weight of plastic floating in the world's oceans.
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset presents model-estimated total particle counts and weights of plastic floating in each major ocean basin and globally, including corrected estimates that account for the vertical distribution of microplastics below the surface. These modeled estimates are foundational inputs for assessing the scale of global ocean plastic pollution.
