Modelling floating riverine litter in the south-eastern Bay of Biscay: a regional distribution from a seasonal perspective [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2022 Although rivers contribute to the flux of litter to the marine environment, estimates of riverine litter amounts and detailed studies on floating riverine litter behaviour once it has reached the sea are still scarce.

Marine Litter Windrows: A Strategic Target to Understand and Manage the Ocean Plastic Pollution
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Windrow is a long-established term for the aggregations of seafoam, seaweeds, plankton and natural debris that appear on the ocean surface. Here, we define a “litter windrow” as any aggregation of floating litter at the submesoscale domain (<10 km ...

Marine Litter Distribution and Density in European Seas, from the Shelves to Deep Basins [PDF]
, 2014 Anthropogenic litter is present in all marine habitats, from beaches to the most remote points in the oceans. On the seafloor, marine litter, particularly plastic, can accumulate in high densities with deleterious consequences for its inhabitants.

Effects of experimental fires on litter decomposition in a seasonally dry Amazonian forest. [PDF]
, 2009 Litter decomposition is a fundamental process for nutrient cycling but we have a limited understanding of this process in disturbed tropical forests. We studied litter decomposition over a 10-mo period in a seasonally dry Amazon forest in Mato Grosso ...
