Plastic products are widely used around the world, but waste plastic is not reasonably
managed and causes serious plastic pollution. Biodegradable plastics (BPs) provide an …

Biodegradable plastic mulches (BDMs) can offer an eco-sustainable alternative to
conventional polyethene (PE) mulch films in agriculture. While PE films must be removed …

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

Decades of extensive and exponentially growing production and use of conventional
plastics have led to the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment, contributing to the …

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 …

Biodegradable mulch film potentially offers an encouraging alternative to conventional
(petroleum-based) plastic films. Since biodegradable films are more susceptible to rapid …

Fears concerning microplastics (MPs) environmental fate and persistence are progressively
expanding on a global basis, with the emphasis given to manufacturing bioplastics for …

The accumulation of microplastics poses potential risks to soil health. Here, we did a
preliminary exploration on the potential of Lumbricus terrestris (Oligochaeta) to reduce low …

Microplastic particles (MP) has been detected in the environment widespread. Human
beings are inevitably exposed to MP via multiple routines. However, the hazard …

Plastics in the environment provide a new and unique habitat for microorganisms-known as
the plastisphere. The microbial succession within the plastisphere and their potentials for …
