From: Microplastic hotspots mapped across the Southern Ocean reveal areas of potential ecological impact
(A, C, and E): maps of biota (chlorophyll & krill), abiotic stresses (SST & pH trends), and human activity (shipping & facilities) coloured by ranks described in main text. (B and D): interaction maps displaying where potential microplastic emission sources overlap with biota and abiotic stresses. (F): combined interaction map displaying where potential microplastic emission sources overlap with biota and abiotic stresses. Maps made with R48 packages ‘sf’49 and ‘ggplot2’50, using Natural Earth free vector and raster map data.
