Environmental drivers and assembly mechanisms of microplastics in plateau lakes
The aggregation of microplastics in plateau lakes was detected, but the environmental fate of microplastics under extreme environments remains unclear. This study systematically explored the fate, assembly process, and driving factors of microplastics in lakes on the Tibetan Plateau. The results revealed that the abundance of microplastics in lakes on the Tibetan Plateau was significantly lower than the global average, and the predominant morphological categories of microplastics were identified as fibers, fragments, and films. The altitude of 4500 m was determined as the critical boundary to distinguish the primary origins of microplastics. Besides, the assembly process of microplastics was influenced by surrounding environmental factors. Salinity, wind speed, altitude, total nitrogen, human activity intensity, precipitation, and pH were the key environmental factors affecting microplastic abundance. This study emphasized the influence of environmental factors on microplastic assembly in plateau lakes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hydrology publishes original research papers and comprehensive reviews in all the subfields of the hydrological sciences including water based management and policy issues that impact on economics and society. These comprise, but are not limited to the physical, chemical, biogeochemical, stochastic and systems aspects of surface and groundwater hydrology, hydrometeorology and hydrogeology. Relevant topics incorporating the insights and methodologies of disciplines such as climatology, water resource systems, hydraulics, agrohydrology, geomorphology, soil science, instrumentation and remote sensing, civil and environmental engineering are included. Social science perspectives on hydrological problems such as resource and ecological economics, environmental sociology, psychology and behavioural science, management and policy analysis are also invited. Multi-and interdisciplinary analyses of hydrological problems are within scope. The science published in the Journal of Hydrology is relevant to catchment scales rather than exclusively to a local scale or site.
