Abstract Micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) are categorized as emerging persistent pollutants that
occur widely in various ecosystems. However, their impacts on terrestrial plants (particularly …

Increasing production of synthetic plastics and poor management of plastic wastes have
dramatically increased the amount of plastics in the environment. In 2014, at the first United …

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

Plastic pollution is one of the global pressing environmental problems, threatening the
health of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. However, the influence of plastic residues and …

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 …

As a type of emerging pollutant, microplastics exist widely in soil and continue to migrate
and transform. Recently, the potential threats of microplastics to soil health and ecological …

A 100-day soil incubation experiment was conducted to explore the effects of conventional
(high-density polyethylene, HDPE) and biodegradable (polylactic acid, PLA) microplastics …

Plastics play an indispensable role in our daily lives, owing to their ease in use, low cost,
strength, versatility and durability but their excessive usage in packaging industries …

Microplastics (MPs) occur and distribute widely in agroecosystems, posing a potential threat
to soil− plant systems. However, little is known about their effects on legumes and N-fixing …

Microplastics are emerging persistent pollutants which have attracted increasing attention
