“…Fine sediment particles can also suspend in the water column, reducing visibility, smothering fishes, and irritating the digestive systems of fishes and other aquatic animals [ [11] , [12] , [13] ]. Fine sediment, characterized by electrochemically active surfaces [ 14 ], adsorbs abundant nutrients [ 15 , 16 ], heavy metals [ 17 , 18 ], organic contaminants such as pesticides [ 19 , 20 ], and pathogens [ 21 , 22 ]. Consequently, fine sediment transport, a carrier of nutrients and contaminants, significantly impacts the biogeochemical cycle [ 23 ] and contaminant dispersion [ [24] , [25] , [26] ] in aquatic ecosystems.…”
