Soil microbial diversity shifts in microplastic polluted compost
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined how microplastic pollution in compost affects soil microbial diversity, characterizing shifts in microbial community structure as plastic contamination levels varied. The findings contribute to understanding how microplastic-contaminated compost may alter soil health and microbial ecosystem function when applied to agricultural land.
