Microplastics (MPs), miniscule plastic particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, have
become a concern in terrestrial ecosystems, with primarily agricultural and wetland soils …

In recent years, increasing studies have been reported on characterization and detection of
microplastics (MPs), and their interactions with organic pollutants (OPs) and heavy metals …

Weathered microplastics (MPs) exhibit different physicochemical properties compared to
pristine MPs, thus, their effects on the environment and living organisms may also differ. In …

Microplastic threats to biodiversity, health and ecological safety are adding to concern
worldwide, but the real impacts on the functioning of organisms and ecosystems are obscure …

Microplastics (MPs) contamination in soils seriously threatens agroecosystems globally.
However, very few studies have been done on the effects of MPs on the soil nitrogen cycle …

Microplastics are a growing concern in mangrove ecosystems; however, their effects on
archaeal communities and related ecological processes remain unclear. We conducted in …

As environmental plastic waste degrades, it creates an abundance of diverse microplastic
particles. Consequently, microplastics contaminate drinking water and many staple food …

Microplastics as a carrier can promote microbial diffusion, potentially influencing the
ecological functions of microbial communities in aquatic environments. However, our …

Numerous studies have revealed the spread mechanism of antibiotic resistance genes
(ARGs) in single antibiotic-contaminated soils. However, the comprehensive impacts of …

The assembly processes of generalists and specialists and their driving mechanisms during
spatiotemporal succession is a central issue in microbial ecology but a poorly researched …
