| Title: |
Microplastics abundance in a Mediterranean marine cave (Bue Marino, Sardinia, Italy), during 2020-09-05 to 2020-09-06 (NCEI Accession 0291179) |
| Abstract: |
This study estimated the abundance of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm, reported in units of items/kg d.w for sediment samples and items/L for water samples) in four sampling sites in a Mediterranean marine cave (Bue Marino, Sardinia, Italy), during 2020-09-05 to 2020-09-06. Sediment samples were collected with a glass jar while water samples were collected with a glass jar and plankton net, for examination of microplastics. This dataset contains the results from all 6 samples, in a spreadsheet format. |
