The contamination of agroecosystems by microplastics (MPs) has raised great concerns
recently. Plastic mulching has contributed a lot in the building of MP pollution in farmlands …

While many artificial and natural biotopes have documented the presence of microplastics,
there is still a lack of knowledge about these tiny particles in municipal solid waste landfills …

The inhomogeneity of plastisphere and soil may result in different microbial communities,
thus potentially affecting soil functions. Biodegradable plastics offer an alternative to …

In this study, the interaction between primary/secondary PE MPs and soil–microbiome-crop
complex system and PE MPs enrichment behavior in crops were studied by using the self …

Freshwater rivers play the key role in providing drinking water sources and building the
bridge of oceans and lands. Hence, environmental pollutants can be transferred into …

Microplastic pollution is a serious environmental problem that affects both aquatic and
terrestrial ecosystems. Small particles with size of less than 5 mm, known as microplastics …

Phyllosphere is the largest interface between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems
and serves as a major sink for atmospheric microplastics (MPs). It is also a unique habitat for …

Microplastic contamination is a global problem which has been threatening human health
and the environment. There is still a knowledge gap about the effect of persistent rain on …

The heterogeneity of plastisphere and soil can lead to variation in microbiome, potentially
impacting soil functions. Current studies of the plastisphere have mainly focused on …

The study identified and quantified nine plastic polymers frequently detected in the
environment by collecting sediment and seawater samples from coastal areas in Auckland …
