Distribution and controlling factors of microplastics in surface sediments of typical deep-sea geomorphological units in the northern South China Sea

Marine microplastics are widely distributed in deep-sea sedimentary environments and are altering sediment compositions and ecological conditions on the seafloor. However, the relation between the distribution of microplastics in deep-sea sediments and the sedimentary dynamic conditions is poorly un...
