Microplastic (MP) pollution is becoming a global problem due to the resilience, long-term persistence, and robustness of MPs in different ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems, plants are exposed MP stress, thereby affecting overall plant growth development. This review article has critically analyzed effects stress plants. We found that stress-induced reduction physical accompanied by two complementary effects: (i) blockage pores seed coat or roots alter water nutrient uptake, (ii) induction drought increased soil cracking MPs. Nonetheless, physiological under four excessive production ROS, alteration leaf root ionome, (iii) impaired hormonal regulation, (iv) decline chlorophyll photosynthesis. Considering that, we suggested targeting redox regulatory mechanisms could be beneficial improving tolerance plants; however, antioxidant activities highly dependent on species, tissue, type, dose. also indirectly reduces altering productivity. However, MP-induced negative vary presence surface functional groups particle sizes. end, utilization agronomic approaches, including application regulators, biochar, replacing plastic mulch with crop residues, diversification, biological degradation, ameliorate The efficiency these methods MP-type-specific dose-dependent.

The escalating production and ubiquitous presence of plastics their degradation products, such as microplastics nanoplastics, pose a significant environmental threat. Microplastics enter the soil through various pathways, including agricultural practices, plastic degradation, wastewater disposal. Herein, we discussed harmful effects on physicochemical properties soil, plant growth, terrestrial fauna, microbial activity, potentially affecting stability nutrient cycle ecosystem. This review delves into recent advances in potential microplastic bioremediation approaches, phytoremediation strategies utilized by plants associated microbes to accumulate, immobilize, even degrade microplastics. Rhizosphere microorganisms play crucial role microplastics, utilizing them carbon source. Soil animals like earthworms, snails, mealworms can also contribute significantly ingesting degrading gut microbiota. Various microorganisms, bacteria fungi, different with help enzymes laccase, esterase, peroxidase, oxidoreductase, hydrolases depolymerise larger polymer chains smaller units that ultimately mineralize CO2, H2O, CH4. Genetic engineering synthetic biology are used create strains enhanced mineralization capabilities. It holds promise for efficient but requires further research real-world application scalable implementation. Overall, this comprehensively highlights approaches future recommendations tackling pollution. Further development enhancing biodegradation efficiency scaling up strategy protection.

Abstract This Assessment Update by the Environmental Effects Panel (EEAP) of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) considers interactive effects solar UV radiation, global warming, and other weathering factors on plastics. The illustrates significance radiation in decreasing durability plastic materials, degradation debris, formation micro- nanoplastic particles accompanying leaching potential toxic compounds. Micro- nanoplastics have been found all ecosystems, atmosphere, humans. While biological risks are not yet well-established, widespread increasing occurrence pollution is reason for continuing research monitoring. Plastic debris persists after its intended life soils, water bodies atmosphere as well living organisms. To counteract accumulation plastics environment, lifetime novel or alternatives should better match functional products, with eventual breakdown releasing harmless substances to environment.
