Summary
Researchers examined microbial community and functional sensitivity in rhizosphere hotspots amended with biodegradable and non-degradable microplastics, assessing how different polymer types affect microbial resistance and functional diversity in agricultural soils.
The annual global production of plastics is currently nearly 400 million tons, leading to widespread concern regarding the quantity of degradation-resistant plastics entering terrestrial environments. Farmland soils are a major sink for microplastics (MPs, size
