The issue of microplastic pollution emerged from the marine environment, but the terrestrial
environment is estimated to receive annually 4–23 times more plastic wastes. Microplastic …

Micro-and nano-plastics (MNPs)(size< 5 mm/< 100 nm) epitomize one of the emergent
environmental pollutants with its existence all around the globe. Their high persistence …

Plastic film mulch (PFM) is a double-edged-sword agricultural technology, which greatly
improves global agricultural production but can also cause severe plastic pollution of the …

As the abundance of microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) increases in the
environment, their presence in agricultural soil has become of interest. MPs/NPs can affect …

The agricultural use of conventional, polyethylene-based mulch films leads to the
accumulation of remnant film pieces in agricultural soils with negative impacts for soil …

Plastic mulch film residues (PMFR) accumulated throughout mulching years can result in
serious environmental problems, especially in hotter areas with frequent farming (eg the …

Soil environments across the globe, particularly in agricultural settings, have now been
shown to be contaminated with microplastics. Agricultural plastics–such as mulching films …

Micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging pollutants of global concern. Because of their
longevity, low density, and small size, MNPs can be transported over long distances by …

Plastic film mulching is an important agricultural practice, but its accumulation in soil
threatens soil health. Here, we explored the effects of plastic film on soil carbon cycling …

Microplastics (MPs) are major global environmental pollutants that have been extensively
detected in agroecosystems. However, researches on their distribution and fates in farmland …
