Summary

Researchers examine how microplastic accumulation in soil alters rhizosphere dynamics, finding that plastic particles disrupt microbial communities and enzyme activities in the root zone, with downstream effects on nutrient cycling and overall soil health.

Microplastics, ubiquitous pollutants in terrestrial ecosystems, have raised concerns regarding their effects on soil health and rhizosphere dynamics. This study examines the impact of microplastic accumulation on rhizosphere activities in soil, shedding light on the...
