I used distance-sampling methods to quantify density of wind-dispersed trash in two protected areas of the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona. ...
Results of this study provide evidence that wind can disperse substantial amounts of trash >2 km into protected natural areas and suggest that accumulation of trash poses a potential threat to desert ecosystems ...
In contrast, quantifying trash in desert environments requires methods that account for imperfect detection because observers are likely to overlook trash that is beneath or entangled in vegetation. ...
