Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants that cause diverse impacts on soil
ecosystems. As integral members of soil food webs, soil fauna exert key ecological functions …

Plastic pollution is prevalent worldwide and has been highlighted as an issue of global
concern due to its harmful impacts on wildlife. The extent and mechanism by which plastic …

Microplastics are widely distributed in terrestrial environments and have been known to
adversely affect earthworms. Based on 65 publications, we summarized the effects of …

Microplastic (MP) pollution has raised public concerns in recent decades globally due to its

With the wide use of mulch film and pesticides, mulch film-derived microplastics are very
likely to produce combined effects with pesticides in agricultural soil. However, little is known …

Increased production and use of plastics has resulted in growth in the amount of plastic
debris accumulating in the environment, potentially fragmenting into smaller pieces …

The effects of microplastics (MPs) on terrestrial organisms remain poorly understood, even
though soil is an important MPs sink. In this study, the earthworms Eisenia fetida were …

The Stockholm Convention is key to addressing the global threats of persistent organic
pollutants (POPs) to humanity and the environment. It has been successful in identifying new …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants which have been widely detected in
agricultural ecosystems. Soil fauna plays an important role in maintaining soil health and …

Microplastics (MPs) may significantly affect the bioavailability of coexisting pollutants in soil
by adsorption-desorption behavior. However, the mechanisms underlying these interaction …
