Nowadays, a growing number of microplastics are released into the environment due to the
extensive use and inappropriate management of plastic products. With the increasing body …

Microplastics are emerging contaminants and their presence in water and soil ecosystems
has recently drawn considerable attention because they pose a great threat to entire …

The mass production and wide application of plastics and their derivatives have led to the
release of a large number of discarded plastic products into the natural environment, where …

This work reviews microplastic's impact on agroecosystem components and possible effects
on the food chain. Microplastics are sized< 5 µm, made up of diverse chemical constituents …

The global prevalence of microplastics (MPs) poses a potential threat and unpredictable risk
to the function and health of environmental systems. However, the research progress of soil …

Terrestrial ecosystems are widely contaminated by microplastics due to extensive usage
and poor handling of plastic materials, but the subsequent fate and remediate strategy of …

Little research has focused on the combined pollution of microplastics (MPs) and heavy
metals in soil, especially the mechanism of their interaction. We conducted a 45-day …

Plastic debris is accumulating in agricultural land due to the increased use of plastic
mulches, which is causing serious environmental problems, especially for biochemical and …

Microplastics (MPs) alter soil aggregation stability. However, studies have yet to determine
whether these alterations further affect microbial community structures and diversities within …

Microplastics have become a contaminant of increasing concern in soils. Although
biodegradable plastics were considered as alternatives of traditional plastics, some …
