Microplastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems is a growing concern due to its potential
influences on soil properties and crop growth. Little is known about the effects of …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs), especially biodegradable MPs (BMPs) have attracted
increasing attention in recent years. However, the effects of MPs with different …

The wide existence of microplastics (MPs) in the terrestrial systems is proved by–many
studies, and their presence could potentially change the soil chem-physical properties and …

The prevalence of microplastics in soil ecosystems has raised concerns about their potential
effects on soil properties. As promising alternatives to conventional plastics, biodegradable …

The widespread existence of microplastics (MPs) in soil has been extensively demonstrated,
and their presence would ineluctably change soil physicochemical properties and microbial …

Soil, as a heterogeneous body, is composed of different-sized aggregates. There is limited
data available on the potential role of microplastics (MPs) in microbial properties at the soil …

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

Recently, the potential impact of microplastics (MPs) on bacterial communities has risen
enormously attention due to the increasing amount of plastic waste generated nowadays …

Increasing research has recognized that the ubiquitous presence of microplastics in
terrestrial environments is undeniable, which potentially alters the soil ecosystem properties …

This study investigated the influence of polystyrene microplastics (MPs) with two different
particle sizes (< 1 mm, 1–5 mm) and three concentrations (1 g/m 2, 10 g/m 2, 50 g/m 2), as …
