Examples of the match between the initial states both before and after relaxation can be found in Supplementary Note1(Supplementary Figs.1–3) alongside summary statistics for the m...
Biodegradation at the deep-sea floor We investigated the decomposition of representative biodegradable plastics (PHA, biodegradable polyesters, and polysaccharide esters) at the above-described five deep-sea floor locations (Fig. 1a, b).
