Summary

This study examined whether microplastic-contaminated soil layers could indirectly affect adjacent uncontaminated soil layers, finding that contaminated layers altered water distribution, flow paths, aggregate size proportions, and microbial activity in neighboring uncontaminated soil.

microplastic-contaminated soil layers showed indirect effects on water distribution and flow path, aggregate size proportions, and microbial activities of adjacent soil layers.
