This is a duplicate data deposit entry for the same biodegradable plastic bag microplastics dataset (also listed as ID 2419), providing raw data for the study published in Environmental Pollution examining how microplastics from biodegradable bags alter soil properties and trigger stress responses in sunflowers.
Microplastics from biodegradable plastic bags alter soil properties and trigger stress response in sunflowers
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers compared the effects of microplastics milled from home-compostable and industrial-compostable PBAT plastic bags versus conventional polyethylene bags on sunflower growth and soil properties. All three types of microplastics altered soil characteristics and triggered stress responses in sunflowers, with the biodegradable variants causing harm comparable to conventional plastic.
Dataset for: "Long-term biodegradable mulch films application in agricultural fields: effects on soil functionality and microplastic generation"
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a duplicate dataset deposit for the long-term biodegradable mulch film study examining soil functionality and microplastic generation in agricultural fields. The research is relevant to evaluating whether switching from conventional to biodegradable plastic films in farming can genuinely reduce microplastic inputs to soil.
Biodegradable and Conventional Microplastics Differentially Affect Soil Nutrient Availability and Stress Responses in Spinach (Spinacia Oleracea L.)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers grew spinach in soils amended with biodegradable or conventional microplastics at varying concentrations and found both types pose risks: biodegradable MPs reduced biomass and leaf nutrient content, while conventional MPs triggered antioxidant stress responses and altered element availability, with effects scaling to higher application rates.
