Fungi-Driven Shifts in Soil DOM Molecular Composition under Biobased Biodegradable Microplastic Exposure

Environmental Science & Technology 2026

Summary

Researchers examined how fungi mediate shifts in dissolved organic matter composition in soils exposed to biobased biodegradable microplastics, finding that fungal activity plays a pivotal role in regulating organic matter turnover and the stability of soil organic matter under microplastic stress.

). Overall, this study elucidates the pivotal role of fungi in mediating Bio-MP-induced DOM turnover and shaping SOM stability.
