Marine snow as vectors for microplastic transport: Multiple aggregation cycles account for the settling of buoyant microplastics to deep‐sea sediments
Many studies have reported the paradoxical observation of high concentrations of low-density microplastics (plastic particles < 5 mm) in deep-sea sediments despite their buoyancy. The incorporation o...
