Summary
This is a dataset and analysis scripts accompanying a study showing that microplastics cause both gradual and abrupt 'tipping point' shifts in soil ecosystem functions depending on their concentration. Understanding these threshold effects is important because it suggests that soil health may collapse suddenly rather than declining linearly as microplastic pollution builds up.
