Oligotrophic Soil Microbial Communities Show Limited Structural Response to Carbon-Normalized PET and PLA Microplastics

Mendeley Data 2026

Summary

Researchers measured phospholipid fatty acid profiles in oligotrophic soils amended with PET and PLA microplastics at carbon-normalized concentrations, finding limited structural shifts in microbial communities, suggesting that low-carbon-availability soils may buffer against microplastic-driven community disruption.
