Soils underpin terrestrial ecosystem functions, but they face numerous anthropogenic pressures. Despite their crucial ecological role, we know little about how soils react to more than two environmental factors at a time. Here, show experimentally that increasing the number of simultaneous global change (up 10) caused directional changes in soil properties, processes, and microbial communities, though there was greater uncertainty predicting magnitude change. Our study provides blueprint for addressing multifactor with an efficient, broadly applicable experimental design studying impacts

Plastics are widely used in the global economy, and each year, at least 350 to 400 million tons being produced. Due poor recycling low circular use, millions of accumulate annually terrestrial or marine environments. Today it has become clear that plastic causes adverse effects all ecosystems microplastics particular concern our health.

Plastic pollution is ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. waste exposed to the environment creates problems of significant concern for all life forms. production accumulation natural are occurring at an unprecedented rate due indiscriminate use, inadequate recycling, deposits landfills. In 2019, global plastic was 370 million tons, with only 9% it being recycled, 12% incinerated, remaining left or The leakage wastes into ecosystems rate. management a challenging problem researchers, policymakers, citizens, other stakeholders. Therefore, here, we summarize current understanding concerns plastics (microplastics nanoplastics) on overall goal this review provide background assessment adverse effects ecosystems; interlink sustainable development goals; address policy initiatives under transdisciplinary approaches through cycle assessment, circular economy, sustainability; identify knowledge gaps; recommendations. community involvement socio-economic inputs different countries presented discussed. ban policies public awareness likely major mitigation interventions. need circularity assess potential environmental impacts resources used throughout product’s span emphasized.

Microplastic effects in terrestrial ecosystems have recently moved into focus, after about a decade of research being limited to aquatic systems. While on soil physical properties and biota are starting become apparent, there is not much information the consequences for plant performance. We here propose discuss mechanistic pathways through which microplastics could impact growth, either positively or negatively. These will vary as function species, plastic type, thus likely translate changes community composition perhaps primary production. Our framework serves guide ongoing future this important topic.
