That said, a lack of statewide monitoring standards for producing comparable and high-quality data, however, hinders a deeper insight into HABs on California's inland waterbodies. In their absence, the current study demonstrates the utility of empirical dataset in advancing an understanding of spatiotemporal distribution of HABs on inland waterbodies. With a 2016–2021 mostly observational data, the questions asked are whether HABs incidences are expanding in California with time, whether there are localities more prone to HABs than others, and whether bivariate relationships exist between HABs reports and population density, or waterbody size, land area and geographical location. Overall, the frequency with which HABs are observed is found to increase statewide, an increase not correlated with population density, but with land area and inland waterbody size. Results also show that North Coast, Central Valley, and San Diego are the most affected regions of California.

However, coating of MP with soil abundant substances <em>e.g.</em>, iron compounds, can reduce this effect. Here, we tested if pre-coating or <em>in situ</em> coating of MP with ferrihydrite (Fh) reduces soil water repellency. We applied hotspots of pristine and coated MP (20–75 μm, PS and PET) to sand and imaged capillary rise <em>via</em> neutron radiography. Capillary rise experiments in wetting–drying cycles were conducted using water and Fh suspension. Pristine MP hotspots were not wettable. Capillary rise of water into coated MP hotspots differed in wettability depending on polymer type. While coated PS was still non-wettable, water imbibed into the coated PET hotspot. Capillary rise of Fh suspensions in wetting and drying cycles also showed varying results depending on polymer type. MP hotspots were still non-wettable and local water content increased only marginally. Our results indicate that Fh coating of MP changes MP surface wettability depending on polymer type and therefore counteracts the hydrophobic properties of pristine MP. However, MP coating is likely to be slowed down by the initial hydrophobicity of pristine MP. Dynamics of MP coating and increasing wettability are key factors for biotic and abiotic degradation processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":74,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts","volume":" 6","pages":" 1094-1101"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2023/em/d3em00077j?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3684543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
