A regional survey of microplastics in Mediterranean olive grove soils across management systems
AI summary Read the abstract
This record is a dataset, not a full study. It provides measurements of tiny plastic particles found in olive grove soils around the Mediterranean, comparing different soil depths and farming management methods, along with detailed particle data confirmed using two lab identification techniques.
Data supporting the analysis of microplastic contamination in Mediterranean olive grove soils. The dataset includes microplastic abundance across soil depths and management systems, characteristics of FTIR-confirmed particles, and exploratory LDIR data from selected olive grove soil samples.
