The Effect of N Mineralization, Nitrification and Ammonification Rates in Soils Contaminated with Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that polypropylene, polyethylene, and PET microplastics all disrupt soil nitrogen cycling, with polypropylene having the most harmful effect — reducing the availability of nitrogen that plants need to grow, raising concerns about long-term agricultural soil health in contaminated areas.
Contrasting effects of microplastics on N2O emission and denitrifiers in two agricultural soils
Impact of Microplastic Accumulation on Rhizosphere Activities in Soil
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examine how microplastic accumulation in soil alters rhizosphere dynamics, finding that plastic particles disrupt microbial communities and enzyme activities in the root zone, with downstream effects on nutrient cycling and overall soil health.
Microplastics in soil-plant system: effects of nano/microplastics on plant photosynthesis, rhizosphere microbes and soil properties in soil with different residues
AI summary Read the abstract
Polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics altered soil dissolved organic matter, disrupted rhizosphere microbial communities, and affected plant photosynthesis in Chinese cabbage, with effects varying by plastic particle size and soil amendment type. These findings reveal that microplastic contamination can cascade through soil microbiomes to impair crop growth, raising concerns for agricultural productivity and food system safety.
Sustainable Plant Production from the Soils Degraded with Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastic contamination in agricultural soils disrupts plant growth, alters soil properties, and moves through the soil-plant interface, while exploring remediation strategies for sustainable crop production. Microplastics in farmland soil threaten food security and create a direct pathway for plastic particles to enter the human food supply through crops.
