(A) Depth specific abundances (per kg dry weight) for MP particles (20–500 µm) in one sediment core of the Roter Main River. Corresponding dry weights of the sub-samples are presented in the Supplementary Material (for color code see C). (B) Textural properties of the sediments extracted with the freeze core technique, classification according to Buffington and Montgomery36 for hyporheic sediments. (C) Depth specific material (PE = polyethylene, PP = polypropylene, PS = polystyrene, PET = polyethylene therephthalat, PBT = polybutylene terephthalate, PC = polycarbonate, PAN = polyacrylonitrile, PVC = polyvinyl chloride) and shape composition for the detected particles. Figures 3 and 4 present data analyzed from the same freeze core.
