Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and cadmium (Cd) are widely distributed in soil ecosystems,
posing a potential threat to agricultural production and human health. However, the coupled …

Biodegradable mulch film potentially offers an encouraging alternative to conventional
(petroleum-based) plastic films. Since biodegradable films are more susceptible to rapid …

Both microplastics (MPs) and cadmium (Cd) are common contaminants in soil-rice systems,
but their combined effects remain unknown. Thereby, we explored the effects of three MPs …

Microplastics (MPs) occur and distribute widely in agroecosystems, posing a potential threat
to soil− plant systems. However, little is known about their effects on legumes and N-fixing …

Microplastic (MPs) pollution has become a global environmental concern with significant
impacts on ecosystems and human health. Although MPs have been widely detected in …

Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles with lesser than 5 mm in size, and in recent years
their accumulation in the soil has given rise to a critical global environmental issue that …

Microplastic (MP) pollution severely impairs the sustainable development of modern
agriculture. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of MP contaminants on nutrient …

Microplastic contamination poses a significant threat to agroecosystem functioning,
provoking a move away from the use of conventional oil-based plastics in agriculture, to …

Much attention has been paid to the prevalence of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial systems.
MPs have been shown to affect the physio-biochemical properties of plants. Different MPs …

Plastics can linger for years in various environmental compartments after being discarded
and exposed to the physical and chemical influences that dismantle their plastic structure to …
