Modelling floating riverine litter in the south-eastern Bay of Biscay: a regional distribution from a seasonal perspective [PDF]
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
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 ...

Nutrient effects on aquatic litter decomposition of free-floating plants are species dependent
Among the most important ecosystem processes in wetlands is plant litter decomposition, which provides the detrital food chains with matter and energy and consequently could affect ecosystem health and integrity.
