Summary

Micro- and nanoplastics have spread ubiquitously across terrestrial ecosystems, persisting in soil and affecting plant health, soil organisms, and nutrient cycling. Their slow degradation and widespread distribution make them a long-term threat to ecosystem function and agricultural productivity.

Plastic pollution is ubiquitous and has become a global challenge due to its slow degradation. Especially, small-sized plastics less than 5 mm, known as microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), have attracted wide attention. Although the majority of plastics...
