Plastics accumulating in the environment, especially microplastics (defined as particles< 5
mm), can lead to a range of problems and potential loss of ecosystem services …

Microplastics (MPs), including conventional hard-to-biodegrade petroleum-based and faster
biodegradable plant-based ones, impact soil structure and microbiota in turn affecting the …

Microplastics (MP, plastic particles between 0.1 and 5000 μm) contaminate agricultural soils
through the application of organic fertilizers, sewage sludge, and plastic mulch. MP surfaces …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution is identified as an important new global change factor
potentially influencing ecosystem functions and services. MPs have been shown to strongly …

Environmental concerns with liberal petroleum-based plastic use have led to demand for
sustainable biodegradable alternatives. However, the inadequate end-of-life treatment of …

Microplastics (MPs) can alter microbial communities and carbon (C) cycling in agricultural
soils. However, the mechanism by which MPs affect the decomposition of microbe-driven …

Microplastics (MPs) are classified as emerging pollutants and greatly threatens soil
ecosystems. To determine the impact of microplastic migration on soil bacterial diversity, we …

Microplastics (MPs) are characterized by small particle sizes (< 5 mm) and are widely
distributed in the soil environment. To date, little research has been conducted on …

Significant soil contamination of microplastics (MPs) by the application of agricultural
mulching films has aroused global concern, however, the effects of conventional and …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm in diameter) have been widely recognized as a critical
environmental issue due to their extensive use and low degradation rate. Based on current …
