Microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are posing emerging potential threats to global ecosystems human health. Recently, the individual effects of MPs/NPs combined MPs/NPs-coexisting pollutants on soil–terrestrial plant systems have attracted increasing attention. Based latest research progress, this review firstly summarized sources interaction between coexisting in soil environment, then systematically induced their multilevel impacts properties terrestrial plants.

Microplastics (MPs), miniscule plastic particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, have become a concern terrestrial ecosystems, with primarily agricultural and wetland soils being the highest loadings. The adverse effect of MPs might lead to changes physicochemical biological characteristics soil including properties, microbial communities, plants, as well potential or affirmed correlations among them. Therefore, understanding risks effects MPs, particularly within soil-plant-microbe context is challenging subject substantial scientific inquiry. This comprehensive review focused on rhizosphere plant-microbe symbiotic relationships, implications for plant growth ecosystem-level nutrient fluxes. alter community composition, enzymatic activities rhizosphere, influencing availability uptake by plants. These can disrupt interactions, such mycorrhizal associations nitrogen-fixing symbioses, ultimately impacting cycling nutrients ecosystems. Furthermore, we elaborate relationships carrying Future research directions solutions microplastics menace acknowledging combined other contaminants, advanced technologies identification quantification, engineering remediation. knowledge MPs-induced impacts interactions essential generate mitigating actions environmental management conservation.

Abstract Contamination of soils in agroecosystems with microplastics (MPs) is increasing concern. The contamination the environment/farmland MPs (1 µm to 5 mm sized particles) and nanoplastics (NPs; <1 causing numerous effects on ecological soil functions human health. enter via several sources, either from intentional plastic use (e.g., mulch, greenhouses, plastic‐coated products) or indirectly input sewage sludge, compost, irrigation water that contaminated plastic. Once soil, debris can have various impacts such as changes physicochemical properties it affects organisms due its toxic behavior.

ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution, a global environmental problem, has been recently studied in marine and freshwater environments. However, our understanding of MP effect on terrestrial ecosystems, especially carbon (C) nitrogen (N) turnover remains poor. This review summarizes the sources distribution characteristics MPs ecosystems explores their effects soil properties, plant growth, C N turnover.

In the middle of 20th century, production plastics exploded worldwide because their low cost and versatility applications. However, since plastic debris is highly resistant to environmental degradation, a growing presence in all ecosystems has been confirmed. Among them, particles < 5 mm, also known as microplastics (MPs), are special concern they dispersed aerial, terrestrial aquatic environments, being soil main sink these contaminants. Due large specific surface area hydrophobicity, MPs considered good adsorbents for other organic pollutants present ecosystems, such pharmaceuticals, personal-care products or pesticides with which can interact thus modify fate. this review article, we examine recent literature (from 2017 2022) get better understanding fate (adsorption, mobility and/or degradation) when simultaneously ecological risks on living organisms interactions between soil. More studies needed fully understand toxicological impact copresence MPs.

The biochar (BC: 2%) to mitigate effects MP also examined. Soil (pH, EC, OM, CaCO3 some elements) significantly differed due by as well adding BC soil. pH were increased more than in control, while TDS, available P, Mn Fe decreased lower which implies adsorption microplastic.
