Dual mobilization of buried microplastics and organic carbon driven by seagrass degradation: a case study from Swan Lake, China by Yuzhou Huang, Yuzhou Huang, Shuo Yu, Shuo Yu, Zhenming Zheng, Zhenming Zheng, Xi Xiao, Zuhao Zhu, Zuhao Zhu, Liangchao Deng, Liangchao Deng, Huihua Wei, Huihua Wei, Jiani Liang, Shuilan Chen, Marianne Holmer

“…Notably, seagrass degradation within a single year may trigger rapid erosion of organic carbon and microplastics buried for over 20 years in Swan Lake. A linear relationship was observed between sediment microplastic carbon and total organic carbon contents (Organic carbon = 1990 + 35100 × Microplastic carbon, R² = 0.26, p < 0.001). …”
