Ecological regime shifts reduced burial ability of aromatic hydrocarbons by both inland and coastal waters but driven by various nutrients

Microplastics contributed much less than organic matter to the burial of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by sediments in the past decades: a case study from an urban lake

“…The chronology of the 26 sediment slices of Lake Qianhu ranged from 1975 to 2018. 13 The historical composition and distribution of microplastics in the sediments of Lake Qianhu are shown in Fig. 1.…”
