Plastic Litter sampling in habitat "Beach", sample id 14069, in year 2020

Description: <p>Litter observed was macro, Fisheries > Plastic, Glass/ceramics, Metal, Multiple, Plastic, Plastic > Styrofoam. Standardised value: 4.80e+05 items/km2 (unit=items/km2, method=MEAN) Source: "Assessment of litter in the remote beaches of Lakshadweep Islands, Arabian Sea" (www.doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2020.111760).</p> <p>Remarks from litterbase to the data harmonization process: Litter quantities were taken from publications The most commonly used units [items / km²; items / km; items / m³] can be used to filter data. If possible, other dimensions were standardised to these units to allow comparison. The remaining units were not converted and are combined in “Other Unit / No Value” and displayed by symbols of uniform size not providing quantitative information If no litter quantity was given for a location (presence data), it was included in “Other Unit / No Value” If quantities were presented in several dimensions (e.g. weight and counts), items / km² was used A 9th-root transformation was applied to reduce the absolute difference between extremely large and small values enabling a comparative presentation in a single map If several quantities were reported for one site, the mean is shown in the map Spatially extensive data sets were aggregated to means for sub-areas Litter was grouped into size categories, thus macro: ≥ 5mm; micro: < 5 mm; nano: < 100 nm If no precise position was given, broader geographic information (e.g. beach name) was used to extract positions from Google Maps Slide bars can be used to select studies from certain time periods (year of publication) Further details are displayed by clicking on the symbols</p>
