Role of Rhizobiome in Mitigating Plastic Pollution in Pedosphere
Summary
Soil rhizobiome communities—the microorganisms associated with plant root zones—play a potential role in mitigating plastic pollution in the pedosphere through microbial degradation and transformation of plastic particles. Harnessing rhizobiome activity represents a biologically-integrated approach to reducing soil microplastic accumulation in agricultural systems where plastic contamination is widespread.
Pedosphere is an intersection of the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. It is referred as the soil mantle of the earth and soil in turn as a natural media. The organic and inorganic constituents along with soil structure and texture define the...
