Effect of microplastics on soil aggregate stability and organic carbon mineralization under flooding condition
AI summary Read the abstract
Laboratory experiments showed that microplastics of two sizes and three concentrations reduced soil aggregate stability and accelerated organic carbon mineralization under flooded conditions, with smaller MPs producing stronger effects and increasing dissolved and particulate organic carbon. This disruption of soil carbon dynamics by MPs has implications for agricultural soil health, greenhouse gas emissions, and the long-term fertility of farmland.
Aggregation and Aggregate Strength of Microscale Plastic Particles in the Presence of Natural Organic Matter: Effects of Ionic Valence
AI summary Read the abstract
Calcium ions promote stronger aggregation of polyethylene microplastic particles in the presence of natural organic matter through divalent bridging, producing more cohesive aggregates than monovalent potassium ions. Understanding how microplastics aggregate under different water chemistry conditions is important for predicting their transport, sedimentation, and bioavailability in natural aquatic environments.
