The concurrent environmental challenges of invasive species and soil microplastic contamination increasingly affect agricultural ecosystems, yet their combined effects remain underexplored. This study investigates the interactive impact legacy Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis L.) invasion on wheat (Triticum aestivum seed germination root development. We measured growth parameters by utilizing a controlled potted experiment with four treatments (control, S. legacy, microplastics, treatment). results revealed that affected germination. different seedling properties generally followed an “individual treatment enhances, suppresses” pattern, except for biomass. Specifically, individual promoted However, significantly suppressed development, decreasing total length surface area 23.85% 31.86%, respectively. These findings demonstrate while may promote are detrimental, indicating complex interaction between these two stressors. highlights need integrated management strategies to mitigate impacts crop productivity ecosystem health.
