Plastic Pollution Impacting Soil Microflora: A Study Toward Agricultural Productivity

Sustainable development goals series 2025
Dipayan Das, D. L. Deb, P. K. Paul

Summary

Researchers examined how plastic pollution in soil disrupts microbial communities that are essential for healthy agricultural ecosystems, with growing evidence that microplastic contamination of farmland could reduce soil fertility and threaten food production.
