To address plastic pollution in agricultural soils due to polyethylene film mulch used, biodegradable is being studied as a promising alternative material for sustainable agriculture. However, the impact of and microplastics on soil carbon remains unclear. The field experiment was conducted with Poly (butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) debris (PBAT-D, 0.5-2 cm), low-density (LDPE-D, cm) microplastic (LDPE-Mi, 500-1000 μm) contaminated (0% (control), 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1% 2% w:w) planted soybean, explore potential impacts respiration (Rs), organic (SOC) fractions (microbial biomass (MBC), dissolved (DOC), easily oxidizable (EOC), particulate (POC), mineral-associated (MAOC)), C-enzymes (β-glucosidase, β-xylosidase, cellobiohydrolase). Results showed that PBAT-D, LDPE-D LDPE-Mi significantly inhibited Rs compared control during flowering harvesting stages (p<0.05). SOC increased PBAT-D treatments at both stages, stage, but decreased stage. In treatments, POC DOC MAOC stages.

Abstract Soil, as a primary repository of plastic debris, faces an escalating influx microplastics. Microplastics have the potential to decrease soil bulk density and pH, well alter pore structure aggregation. These changes in physicochemical properties subsequently lead habitat degradation for microbes environmental shifts that impact plant growth. Masquerading carbon storage, microplastics can distort assessments pool by introducing plastic-carbon associated leachates, influencing organic matter (SOM) turnover through priming effects (e.g., dilution, substrate switching, co-metabolisms). Additionally, influence distribution particulate mineral-associated matter, consequently affecting accumulation stability carbon. Furthermore, also chemodiversity dissolved (DOM) soils increasing DOM aromaticity molecular weight while deepening its humification degree. The observed may be attributed inputs from microplastic-derived along with organo-organic organo-mineral interactions coupled microbial processes.

Abstract Microplastic (MP) pollution likely affects global soil carbon (C) dynamics, yet it remains uncertain how and to what extent MP influences respiration. Here, we report on a meta‐analysis determine the effects of microbiome CO 2 emission. We found that significantly increased contents organic C (SOC) (21%) dissolved (DOC) (12%), activity fluorescein diacetate hydrolase (FDAse) (10%), microbial biomass (17%), but led decrease in diversity (3%). In particular, increases components further promote emission (25%) from soil, with much higher effect MPs these emissions than biomass. The could be attributed opposite vs. diversity, as accumulation recruited some functionally important bacteria provided additional substrates for specific heterotrophic microorganisms, while inhibiting growth autotrophic taxa (e.g., Chloroflexi , Cyanobacteria ). This study reveals can increase by causing shifts microbiome. These results underscore potential importance plastic terrestrial fluxes, thus climate feedbacks.

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) as emerging contaminants have a global occurrence, including both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Soil enzymes contribute to maintaining ecosystem multifunctionality, for example, nutrient cycling, organic material decomposition, carbon climate regulation. Our present review highlights the impacts of MPs on soil enzyme activities, influencing factors, underlying mechanisms. Increasing findings confirm that can change activities range involved in biogeochemical cycling C N. However, current results are highly controversial. The effects vary from significant nonsignificant dependent polymer type, biodegradability, dosage, size, shape, aging degree MPs, exposure conditions. Compared traditional biodegradable generally show more pronounced effects. via different pathways. On one hand, directly structure, leading alterations activity. other create unique habitats, provide sources specific functional microbes producing enzymes, release plastic additives pollutants disturbing production these enzymes. Furthermore, alter physicochemical biological properties, availability substrates, plants fauna, regulating their functions. In conclusion, regulate pose profound impact multifunctionality.

Aged micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) are normally the ultimate state of plastics in environment after aging. The changes physical and chemical characteristics aged MNPs significantly influence their environmental behavior by releasing additives, forming byproducts, adsorbing contaminants. However, a systematic review is lacking on effects ecological human health regarding increasing but scattered studies results. This Review first summarizes unique methods for quantifying aging degree. Then we focused potential impacts organisms, ecosystems, health, including "Trojan horse" under real conditions. Through combining meta-analysis analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model, demonstrated that, compared to virgin MNPs, would result biomass decrease oxidative stress increase organisms lead total N/P greenhouse gas emissions ecosystems while causing cell apoptosis, antioxidant system reaction, inflammation health. Within framework risk assessment, used quotient (RQ) physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBK) models as examples illustrate importance considering degree data acquisition, model building, formula evaluation.
