Microplastics (MPs) are emerging environmental pollutants that pose a significant threat to wildlife within forest ecosystems. However, the quantity and types of MPs in habitats remain unclear. This study is first assess distribution Amur tiger habitat northeast China. Our results showed were detected soil, water, atmosphere, forage plants, ungulate top predator feces ecosystem, respectively. The average diameter all was 44.99 ± 34.80μm. predominant polymers found samples polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane. Certain sample shared similar MP polymer type distributions, indicating potential links their sources transfer pathways. Consequently, these findings provide some new insights on pollution problem prompt us consider how control manage conservation.
