Impact of Mangrove Forest Structure and Landscape on Macroplastics Capture
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023 Des réseaux complexes de racines et de troncs hors sol font que les forêts de mangroves piègent les déchets plastiques. Nous avons testé la relation entre les macroplastiques et la biomasse des arbres, l'abondance des racines, la géomorphologie des mangroves et la proximité de l'embouchure des rivières, en étudiant les marges terrestres et maritimes de

Will it float? Rising and settling velocities of common macroplastic foils
ACS ES&T Water, 2021 Plastic accumulates in the environment because of insufficient waste handling and the materials' high durability. Better understanding of plastic behaviour in the aquatic environment is needed to estimate transport and accumulation, which can be used for monitoring strategies, prevention measures, and plastic clean-up activities.
