In the present state of environmental degradation world where plastic pollution has become a major concern, resultant microplastic (MP) occurrence is rapidly growing debate irrespective geographical boundary or compartments. Notwithstanding that soil principal sink residues; unfortunately, it remained almost unexplored compared to aquatic environment. However, researchers in their quest for 'Green' solution this colossal issue have globally extensively worked on bioremediation MP from current study, we unveiled that, bacteria, fungi, plants, biochar, earthworms, and even larvae some species, are being used advance potential technique MPs. process, polymers broken down innocuous monomers, like carbon-di-oxide, methane, water, biomass by action wide range micro-organisms. Moreover, since effectiveness method sensitive different types biotic-abiotic factors, condition soil, MPs microorganisms involved; various optimization techniques, devised improve process. Considering advantages necessity imperative conduct rigorous comprehensive research work more optimized techniques; encourage be implemented largely contaminated sites around world.

The pervasive presence of microplastics (MPs) in agroecosystems poses a significant threat to soil health and plant growth. This study investigates the effects varying concentrations sizes polystyrene (PS-MPs) on Solanum lycopersicum L.'s height, dry weight, antioxidant enzyme activities, physicochemical properties, rhizosphere microbial communities. results showed that PS0510 treatment significantly increased height (93.70 cm, +40.83%) weight (2.98 g, +100%). Additionally, activities improved across treatments for S. L. roots. Physicochemical analyses revealed enhanced organic matter nutrient levels, including ammonium nitrogen, phosphorus, effective potassium. Using 16S rRNA sequencing molecular ecological network techniques, we found PS-MPs altered structure function community associated with PS1005 notably diversity displayed most complex network, while PS1010 led reduced complexity more negative interactions. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) identified biomarkers at various taxonomic reflecting impact structure. Mantel tests indicated positive correlations between activity, as well relationships properties activity. Predictions gene PS-MP modified carbon nitrogen cycling pathways, enhancing methanogenesis genes (mcrABG) negatively affecting denitrification (nirK, nirS). provides evidence agroecosystem functioning, highlighting their potential alter communities, thereby

With the extensive utilization of plastic products, microplastics/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) contamination not only poses a global hazard to environment, but also induces new threat growth development and nutritional quality plantation agricultural products. This study thoroughly examines behavior MPs/NPs, including their sources, entry routes into plants, phytotoxicity under various biotic abiotic stresses (e.g., salinity, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, antibiotics, plasticizers, nano oxide, naturally occurring organic macromolecular compounds, invasive Botrytis cinerea mycorrhizal fungi.) controlling strategies. MPs/NPs in systems mainly originate from mulch, sewage, compost fertilizer, municipal solid waste, pesticide packaging materials, etc. They enter plants through endocytosis, apoplast pathways, crack-entry modes, leaf stomata, affecting phenotypic, metabolic, enzymatic, genetic processes such as seed germination, metabolism, photosynthesis, oxidative stress antioxidant defenses, fruit yield nutrient quality, cytotoxicity genotoxicity. can interact with other environmental stressors, resulting synergistic, antagonistic, or neutral effects on phytotoxicity. To address these challenges, this review highlights strategies mitigate toxicity, novel green biodegradable plastics, plant extraction immobilization, exogenous regulator interventions, porous nanomaterial modulation, biocatalysis enzymatic degradation. Finally, identifies current limitations future research directions critical field.

Plastic pollution and climate change are two major environmental issues of this century, with implications for ecosystem health, the economy, humankind. Plastics have potential to affect in multiple ways, yet we lack a thorough understanding what data on phenomenon where knowledge gaps are. Here, conducted systematic review assemble answer question: How do plastics impact through three mechanisms–emissions greenhouse gases across lifecycle, interference Earth’s carbon sinks, radiation budget? We searched all 14 databases Web Science relevant articles, amended pool articles from manual reference searching expert elicitations. Using rigorous inclusion exclusion criteria, including non-peer reviewed studies minimize risk bias, ultimately selected 143 our - 36 lifecycle gas emissions papers, 83 sink 24 budget papers. Based current available data, found that can emit up gigatonnes dioxide equivalents per year, most being produced at primary production product manufacture stages. From existing studies, identified more instances negatively affecting sequestration than vice versa . radiative impacts predominantly cooling nature. The body evidence is incomplete research needed confirm these findings fill gaps. Future work should prioritize quantifying transportation, consumption, unmanaged waste stages lifecycle. need examine coastal blue ecosystems marine endpoints, examining direct forcing via aerosols, cloud properties, albedo/melting rate surfaces ice/snow.
