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 …

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 …

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) 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 pollution has severe ecological and environmental concerns because of its
enormous production and discharge in natural ecosystems worldwide. Microplastics interact …

Biodegradable plastics (BDPs) are considered a sustainable alternative to conventional
plastics (CPs) in agriculture. However, the potential impact of BDPs, particularly regarding …

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 …

The coexistence of microplastics (MPs) and toxic metal contaminants in soils is becoming
increasingly common, thereby posing serious threat to soil–plant systems. Cadmium (Cd) is …

Plastics have found widespread use in the contemporary world due to their numerous
benefits. However, approximately 99% of them are estimated to be discarded in the …

Microplastics (MPs) that enter the soil can alter the physicochemical and biochemical
properties of soil and affect speciation of heavy metals (HMs), thereby perturbing the …
