Methods for Studying the Influence of Vegetation on the Mobility of Plastic Objects and Particles
Summary
This article reviews field and experimental methods for studying how vegetation intercepts, retains, and redirects the movement of macro- and microplastic particles in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Vegetation dynamics are an underappreciated factor in microplastic transport modeling, with implications for understanding sink locations and exposure pathways in natural ecosystems.
The article examines methods for studying the interactions between plastic pollution and vegetation as a key environmental factor in vegetated areas and water bodies. It analyzes modern approaches to monitoring macro- and microplastic pollution of vegetation, aquatic environments, and soils in such areas, as well as methods for field and experimental studies of the influence of various vegetation types on the mobility of plastic objects and particles.
