Soil Use and Management, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 41(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Abstract Microplastic (MP) pollution is widespread and has become a significant global environmental concern. This study represents the first attempt to investigate abundance of MPs in open dumping scrapyard sites Türkiye. Microplastics were identified soils surrounding these areas, spanning eight provinces. The samples analysed for MP distribution characteristics, including abundance, shape, size, colour type. extracted using density separation with saturated K 2 CO 3 , followed by treatment 30% H O . Chemical identification was conducted ATR‐FTIR μ‐FTIR. Various types detected soil samples, averages 311.6 ± 113.9 particles kg −1 areas 463.3 83.9 areas. In predominantly blue (35.3%), fragment‐shaped (36.6%), smaller than 500 μm (44.7%) primarily polyethylene (81.5%). Similarly, (33.1%), (63.4%), (55.3%) mostly (70.1%). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated that properties, such as pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, aggregate stability, bulk density, average weight diameter, sand, clay silt, significantly influenced size soil. highlights potential concerns regarding contamination three industrially developed regions Türkiye because uncontrolled plastic waste

Impact of Polystyrene Microplastics on Soil Properties, Microbial Diversity and Solanum lycopersicum L. Growth in Meadow Soils

Plants, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(2), P. 256 - 256

Published: Jan. 17, 2025

The pervasive presence of microplastics (MPs) in agroecosystems poses a significant threat to soil health and plant growth. This study investigates the effects varying concentrations sizes polystyrene (PS-MPs) on Solanum lycopersicum L.'s height, dry weight, antioxidant enzyme activities, physicochemical properties, rhizosphere microbial communities. results showed that PS0510 treatment significantly increased height (93.70 cm, +40.83%) weight (2.98 g, +100%). Additionally, activities improved across treatments for S. L. roots. Physicochemical analyses revealed enhanced organic matter nutrient levels, including ammonium nitrogen, phosphorus, effective potassium. Using 16S rRNA sequencing molecular ecological network techniques, we found PS-MPs altered structure function community associated with PS1005 notably diversity displayed most complex network, while PS1010 led reduced complexity more negative interactions. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) identified biomarkers at various taxonomic reflecting impact structure. Mantel tests indicated positive correlations between activity, as well relationships properties activity. Predictions gene PS-MP modified carbon nitrogen cycling pathways, enhancing methanogenesis genes (mcrABG) negatively affecting denitrification (nirK, nirS). provides evidence agroecosystem functioning, highlighting their potential alter communities, thereby
