Plastics, especially microplastics in soils, are considered a severe environmental issue
worldwide. However, globally, the main research focus is on microplastic pollution in the …

The soil environment serves as an assembling area for microplastics, and is an important
secondary source of microplastics in other environmental media. Recently, soil microplastics …

The detection of microplastics (MPs) in agricultural soils has raised alarms on their potential
impacts on agricultural production, particularly in China where agriculture has great …

The contamination of agroecosystems by microplastics (MPs) has raised great concerns
recently. Plastic mulching has contributed a lot in the building of MP pollution in farmlands …

Both nitrogen deposition (ND) and microplastics (MPs) pose global change challenges. The
effects of MPs co-existing with ND on ecosystem functions are still largely unknown. Herein …

Plastic particles of diameters ranging from 1 to 1000 nm and> 1 µm to 5 mm are respectively
known as nanoplastics and microplastics, and are collectively termed micro (nano) plastics …

Plastic debris (including macro-plastics, microplastics (MPs), and nanoplastics), defined as
an emerging contaminant, has been proven to significantly affect soil ecosystem functioning …

Microplastic pollution in the soil environment has gathered widespread attention. However,
little is known about the effects of land use and landscape patterns on the occurrence and …

In recent years, microplastics (MPs) have obtained growing public concern due to
widespread distribution and harmful impacts. Their distinctive features including porous …

Nanoplastics (NPs) have become an emerging pollutant that has attracted much attention.
As plants are the major food sources, it will be of great use to investigate NPs in plants. The …
