Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Macroplastic and other types of macroscopic anthropogenic litter (AL; trash, particles > 5 mm) are pervasive across ecosystems, persistent in the environment, increasing in abundance, and can degrade into microplastics (particles < 5 mm). Rivers retain and transform AL prior to export downstream, but improved predictions of AL distribution and movement
