Microbial Ecology of the Plastisphere in Soil Plant Uptake
Summary
Researchers examined the microbial ecology of the plastisphere in soil environments and its role in plant uptake, finding that microplastic-associated microbial communities alter soil health and can facilitate transfer of plastic particles and associated contaminants into plant tissues.
Within the last few years, there has been growing research and increasing knowledge of the plastisphere. This is due to its impact on soil organisms, plants and by extension, humans. In this chapter, the introduction of microplastics into the soil, as well the uptake...
