Microplastics in terrestrial ecosystems: Un-ignorable impacts on soil characterises, nutrient storage and its cycling
Abstract Microplastics (size< 5 mm) debris are environmentally persistent pollutants that
severely affect terrestrial ecosystems by promoting the loss of soil fertility, and microbiome …
