In the current polycrisis era, plant science, particularly when applied to agronomy, becomes instrumental: because our main substantial and renewable resource is plant biomass, many future solutions will depend on our ability to grow and transform plant material in a sustainable way. This also questions the way we conduct plant research and thus quantitative plant biology. In response to the increasing polarization between science and society, participatory plant research offers a pertinent framework.

There is limited understanding of how litter abundance, particularly plastic items, varies between coastal and inland regions with different population densities. The absence of standardised data collection methods further complicates comparisons. Moreover, the lack of data for inland areas hampers efforts to identify potential litter sources, pathways, and interventions.
