Effects of aged microplastics on paddy soil properties and greenhouse gas emissions under laboratory aerobic conditions
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers incubated paddy soil with UV-aged polyethylene and polylactic acid microplastics and measured CO2 and N2O emissions over 35 days, finding that aging increased greenhouse gas output beyond that of virgin plastics by elevating dissolved organic carbon and altering its composition—suggesting that weathered microplastics in agricultural soils amplify climate-relevant emissions.
Methane emissions and rice yield in a paddy soil: the effect of biochar and polystyrene microplastics interaction
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers ran greenhouse pot experiments showing that polystyrene microplastics significantly increase methane emissions and reduce rice yield in paddy soil, while sugarcane bagasse biochar partially offsets these effects by altering soil microbial community structure and reducing global warming potential.
Contrasting effects of microplastics on N2O emission and denitrifiers in two agricultural soils
Profile of microplastic types and soil biological response in the subsurface layer: A case study of the Surabaya landfill
AI summary Read the abstract
A case study of a Surabaya landfill characterized microplastic types and soil biological responses in subsurface layers, documenting contamination profiles and ecological impacts at a major urban waste disposal site. The findings underscore that landfills are significant terrestrial hotspots for microplastic pollution, with subsurface contamination posing risks to soil health and groundwater that extend well beyond the immediate disposal area.
