The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) is growing concern for both the scientific community and public. Contemporary research increasingly focuses on ecosystem transformation global climate change. We conducted a literature review, consisting 46 studies, to investigate consequences MPs’ influence carbon cycle in different soil types across various ecosystems. MPs can affect cycling compounds other biogenic elements by impacting microbiome, enzyme activity, plant growth, litter decomposition, more. majority authors report increased CO2 and/or CH4 emissions soils containing MPs. However, some studies demonstrate opposite or neutral result, outcomes differ even within single study depending type type, form, size used. Further clarification development our understanding regarding impact ecosystems remain crucial, taking into account inclusion as wide variety possible future research.
