Summary

This Portuguese-language science communication article explains, for a general audience, how soil invertebrates such as earthworms and springtails are affected by microplastic contamination. It summarizes findings from recent research on how microplastics alter soil animal behavior, reproduction, and physiology. It is a public outreach piece based on scientific literature rather than original research.

Este é um artigo de divulgação científica, elaborado a partir de [1], sobre os efeitos dos microplásticos nos invertebrados do solo.
