ClearEco-Asset Variations and Their Driving Factors in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, China, under the Context of Global Change
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research — it analyzes ecological asset changes and their environmental drivers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau using remote sensing data.
[Microplastic Pollution Status and Ecological Risk Evaluation in Weihe River].
This Chinese study characterized microplastic abundance, shapes, sizes, colors, and polymer types in the Weihe River in northwest China. The findings document significant microplastic contamination in a major regional river that drains one of China's most densely populated agricultural areas, raising concerns about both ecosystem and human health.
Quantifying desertification in the Qinghai Lake Basin
This paper is not about microplastics. It studied desertification patterns in the Qinghai Lake Basin on the Tibetan Plateau using satellite vegetation and albedo data over 20 years. The study found that desertification has reversed in recent decades but remains concentrated along the northwestern basin boundaries. It has no connection to microplastic pollution or human health.
Spatial–Temporal Wetland Landcover Changes of Poyang Lake Derived from Landsat and HJ-1A/B Data in the Dry Season from 1973–2019
Satellite imagery analysis of Poyang Lake in China from 1973 to 2019 revealed major shifts in wetland cover types driven by flooding, drought cycles, and human activity. The study is focused on remote sensing of wetland dynamics and is not directly related to microplastics research.
Evaluation of plateau wetland ecological security and its influencing factors in multi-climatic zones: A case study of Yunnan Province
Not a microplastics paper — this study assesses the ecological security of plateau wetlands across Yunnan Province, China using a pressure-state-response model based on remote sensing data, identifying climate and human activity as key threats to these fragile ecosystems.
Extraction of Surface Water Extent: Automated Thresholding Approaches
This paper is not relevant to microplastics — it evaluates automated thresholding algorithms applied to satellite remote sensing data for mapping surface water extent and monitoring floods and droughts.
Application of Remote Sensing Technology in Ecological Engineering—A Case Study of Phase I Tao River Water Diversion Project
Researchers used remote sensing satellite imagery to monitor ecological restoration and erosion control during a large Chinese water diversion project. While focused on construction impacts, remote sensing methods are also being developed to detect and map microplastic pollution from satellite data.
The need of ecohydrological research in tropical forests for healthy watersheds
This paper is not relevant to microplastics; it argues for more ecohydrological research in tropical forests to understand water cycling and watershed health.
Impacts of Droughts and Acidic Deposition on Long-Term Surface Water Dissolved Organic Carbon Concentrations in Upland Catchments in Wales
This water quality modeling study examined how drought cycles and declining acid deposition are affecting dissolved organic carbon concentrations in a Welsh upland river catchment. It is a hydrology and water chemistry study not directly related to microplastics.
[Temporal and Spatial Distribution and Risk Assessment of Microplastics in Multiple Media of an Urban River].
Researchers collected water and sediment samples from the Guanzhong section of the Weihe River Basin during wet and dry seasons to characterize the temporal and spatial distribution and risk of microplastics in an urban river system. Using density flotation and multiple analytical methods, they systematically documented microplastic abundance, morphology, and polymer composition across multiple environmental media.
The Changes in Dominant Driving Factors in the Evolution Process of Wetland in the Yellow River Delta during 2015–2022
This paper is not about microplastics; it uses satellite time-series imagery to analyze changes in wetland area and type in the Yellow River Delta between 2015 and 2022.
Spatiotemporal dynamics of microplastics in an urban river network area
Researchers investigated microplastic dynamics in an urban river network in eastern China, finding abundances of 2.3 to 104.6 particles per liter that were significantly higher during wet seasons and concentrated near commercial, industrial, and wastewater discharge areas.
Microplastics pollution in inland freshwaters of China: A case study in urban surface waters of Wuhan, China
Researchers characterized microplastic pollution in inland freshwaters across urban suburban areas of China, finding contamination that reflected land use intensity and population density in the surrounding catchments.
Spatiotemporal changes in land use and residential satisfaction in the Huai River-Gaoyou Lake Rim area
Researchers used two decades of satellite data to track land use changes and ecological risks in China's Jiangsu Province, focusing on shifts between agricultural, urban, and wetland areas. Land use changes alter how plastic waste and microplastics are transported and deposited in freshwater ecosystems.
Assessing wetlands ecological risk through an adaptive cycle framework
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper develops an ecological risk assessment framework for wetlands based on adaptive cycle theory, applied to Kunshan, China, focusing on climate change and human impacts rather than plastic contamination.
Advancing hydrological monitoring using image-based techniques: challenges and opportunities
This paper is not about microplastics — it reviews image-based techniques (including remote sensing and computer vision) for hydrological monitoring of water bodies, discussing challenges and opportunities in measuring water flow, flood events, and water quality.
Temporal and Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Microplastics and Their Influencing Factors in the Lincheng River, Zhoushan City, China
Researchers analyzed temporal and spatial distribution patterns of microplastics in the Lincheng River in Zhoushan, China, finding that microplastic abundance is influenced by seasonal runoff, land use, and proximity to urban and industrial sources before entering the ocean.
Analysis of Land Use Evolution of Suzhou Wetlands Based on RS and GIS
Researchers used satellite remote sensing and GIS to track changes in land use and wetland coverage in Suzhou, China over time. Understanding how wetland ecosystems change is important for assessing their capacity to filter pollutants, including microplastics carried by stormwater and runoff.
