Microplastic (MPs) pollution has become a global environmental concern with significant
impacts on ecosystems and human health. Although MPs have been widely detected in …

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 …

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 …

Purpose Soil is a thin coating of matter that covers the earth's surface, formed through the
process of rock weathering. It is a natural filter for impurities in groundwater and is very …

The accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial ecosystems can affect greenhouse
gases (GHGs) production by changing soil structure and microbial functions. In this study …

Microplastics can accumulate in soils and strongly affect the biogeochemical cycle.
Biodegradable plastic films show potential as sustainable alternatives that could reduce …

Polyethylene film mulching is a key technology for soil water retention in dryland agriculture,
but the aging of the films can generate a large number of microplastics with different shapes …

The ecological impacts of micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) have attracted attention worldwide
because of their global occurrence, persistence, and environmental risks. Increasing …

Massive production and spread application of plastics have led to the accumulation of
numerous plastics in the global environment so that the proportion of carbon storage in …

Microplastics can perturb microbial nutrient-mining strategies. However, the mechanism by
which microplastics affect the resource-acquisition strategies of crops in agricultural systems …
