Abstract
En 中文
• Field patchiness and laboratory subsampling jointly determine soil MP uncertainty. • Coarse MPs (≥500 μm) show high uncertainty under low abundance and patchy conditions. • Spatial patchiness and bulk density strongly increase sampling variability. • Gram-scale aliquots are often insufficient for robust quantification of coarse MPs.
