Polymer type more strongly than concentration drives root responses to microplastics: root biomass–efficiency trade-offs and biogeochemical risks in coastal wetlands
Researchers used mesocosm experiments in coastal wetlands to determine whether microplastic polymer type or concentration more strongly drives root biomass and biogeochemical responses in wetland plants. They found that polymer type exerted stronger effects than concentration on root biomass-efficiency trade-offs, with implications for how risk assessments for coastal wetland ecosystems should be designed.
Microplastic residues in wetland ecosystems: Do they truly threaten the plant-microbe-soil system?
Researchers used a controlled pot experiment to assess microplastic effects on wetland plant growth, soil microbial communities, and nutrient cycling, finding that MPs altered soil enzyme activity and shifted bacterial community composition but had variable effects on plant growth depending on plastic type.
