Macroplastic in urban waterways: assessing storage in Berlin's Spree River Over the past decade, awareness of macroplastic (MAP) pollution in rivers as a major contributor to marine litter has increased substantially. However…

Our last paper on #plastics in #riverbanks is out in @elsevierconnect.bsky.social

We found that riverbanks showed higher MA density than other compartments, with river embankments causing one-way #macroplastic transport from banks to river.

Storm events influence the transport of macroplastics in urban streams We found higher rates of macroplastic (particles > 5 mm) transport rate in urban streams during storms relative to baseflow. Transport was related to storm size. Results will improve predictive model...

Plastic-wood jams: macroplastic deposition on woody debris in a Mediterranean mountain river and its similarities to temperate ecosystems - Hydrobiologia Wood jams, composed of branches, root wads, fine organic matter, and mineral sediments deposited in river channel zones, play several important roles in river ecosystem functioning. Recent studies con...

Riparian vegetation plastic monitoring: A harmonized protocol for sampling macrolitter in vegetated riverine habitats Many studies highlighted that rivers transported land-based plastics to the sea. However, most of the litter remains stuck in the fluvial ecosystem, a…

📏 #Harmonization in #macrolitter and #macroplastic studies is pivotal to comparing results and providing insights to mitigate #plasticpollution. Here, 🏞️ we provided a harmonized protocol for sampling macrolitter in vegetated #riverine #habitats.

🚨New publication!🚨

We show that #biofilm colonisation cause #macroplastic #pollution to exhibit more chaotic settling behaviours and slower settling velocities in #water 🌪️🥤🦠
