Summary
This is a published correction to a study on how microplastics sink through water, fixing labeling errors on the axes of a key figure showing the relationship between particle size and settling speed. The original research examined how factors like biofilm growth — the coating of microbes that accumulates on plastic surfaces — and water salinity affect how quickly non-floating microplastics sink.
and errors in the labelling of the y-axis and x-axis in panels (a) and (b).The original version of Figure 4 displayed a single scale marker tick on the x-axis, and the x-axis was labelled "Equivalent Diameter (mm)" and the y-axis was labelled "Velocity (mm/s)".The corrected version of Figure 4 displays two scale marker ticks on the x-axis, and the x-axis is labelled "log10 (equivalent diameter)" and the y-axis is labelled "log10 (velocity)".
