Moreira Three-dimensional distribution of plastic pellets in sandy beaches: shifting paradigms Scientific Reports 4, Article number: 4435, doi:10.1038/srep04435 Abstract Plastic pellets are worldwide contaminants that accumulate in the ocean, especially in sandy beaches, where their historic standing-stock quantification relies on surface sediment samples. We demonstrated these particles present a three-dimensional instead of a simple along-across shore distribution, being found as deep as 2.0 m, with surface layers accounting for <10% of the total abundance in the sediment column. This gradient seemed to be more related to oceanographic rather than anthropic processes, suggesting a general pattern whose applicability to microplastics and sedimentary environments as a whole should be investigated. This poses criticism in the exactness of standing-stock records and demands urgent discussion of sampling protocols. http://www.nature.com/srep/2014/140327/srep04435/pdf/srep04435.pdf
