Lost in transportation - macroplastic retention in rivers
Rivers are dynamic systems disrupted by numerous physical structures such as dams, locks, bridges, and reservoirs. These discontinuities hinder hydrological connectivity and lead to the retention of water-borne materials. While such retention is well-documented for sediment, nutrients, and large wood, its role in macroplastic transport has only ...
