Microplastics in soil affect seed germination velocity and synchrony
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset supports research on the effects of microplastics in soil on seed germination of Daucus carota (carrot), covering four plastic shapes and three polymer types with germination outcomes measured over 49 days.
Microplastic effects on seed germination of Daucus carota. Shapes ( fibers, films, foams, and fragments) each one made of 3 different polymer types. Germination was measured on days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49. Germination parameteres were calculated using Germinationmetrics (Percentage of final germination, velocity, and synchrony).

Microplastics of different shapes increase seed germination synchrony while only films and fibers affect seed germination velocity
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that microplastics of various shapes — fibers, films, foams, and fragments — increased seed germination synchrony in carrot seeds, while only films and fibers specifically reduced germination speed, suggesting shape-dependent effects on plant establishment.

Microplastic Shape, Polymer Type, and Concentration Affect Soil Properties and Plant Biomass
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tested how microplastics of different shapes, polymer types, and concentrations affect soil properties and plant growth using carrots as a model species. They found that microplastic fibers and films had the strongest effects on soil structure and water dynamics, while fragments and foams had less impact. The study demonstrates that the physical characteristics of microplastics matter as much as their chemical composition in determining their effects on agricultural soils.
