Summary

This study examined how extreme flood events in the Yangtze River estuary affect the deposition patterns of microplastics in sediments. Flood-driven changes in sediment transport altered microplastic accumulation, showing that climate-related extreme weather can redistribute plastic pollution in coastal and estuarine environments.
