🌊These systems may be unique filters for microplastics from land to sea (or vice versa) so understanding how they trap and transport microplastics is key for understanding their role in the plastics cycle! 3/3.

🔬Using an experimental flume, we found that plant structure (grassy vs. branched) influenced where microplastics deposited across the sediment. 2/3.
