Table of OTUs in Different Saline-Alkali Soils After Exposure to Microplastic Pollution at Various Concentrations
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset provides 16S rRNA sequencing data from alkaline soils contaminated with polyethylene microplastics at varying salinity levels. Preliminary analysis indicates that microbial species richness and diversity initially decreased but then increased as salinity-alkalinity levels rose following microplastic addition, offering a resource for further ecological analysis of microplastic impacts on soil microbiomes.
This OTU table was derived from 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing of alkaline soil samples contaminated with polyethylene microplastics (PE MPs) across varying salinity-alkalinity gradients. The dataset comprises five salinity-alkalinity levels (S1–S5, in increasing order) and three microplastic treatment levels: CK (0% PE MPs), T1 (1% PE MPs), and T2 (5% PE MPs). Preliminary analysis indicates that following the addition of PE MPs, species richness and diversity indices initially decreased and then increased as salinity-alkalinity levels rose. This table is available for other researchers to conduct Alpha/Beta diversity comparisons, Linear Discriminant Analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) for differential species analysis, and functional gene prediction, aiming to further elucidate the ecological risks of combined pollutants in extreme soil environments.

Researchers examined how different types and concentrations of polyethylene, polystyrene, and PVC microplastics affect soil bacteria and fungi in alkaline soil over 310 days, finding that all three stimulated enzyme activities and shifted microbial community abundance patterns.
Soil properties, microbial diversity, and changes in the functionality of saline-alkali soil are driven by microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated the effects of polyethylene and polypropylene microplastics at different sizes and doses on saline-alkali soil properties and microbial communities. The study found that polyethylene had a stronger negative effect than polypropylene, significantly reducing microbial diversity at high doses and suppressing nitrogen fixation potential, while polypropylene treatment actually promoted some microbial diversity.
