Summary

This review summarizes how microplastics enter and affect agricultural ecosystems, including soil, crops, and farm animals. Microplastics can alter soil structure, inhibit plant growth, and accumulate in food crops, raising concerns about human dietary exposure. The authors highlight gaps in knowledge about long-term agricultural impacts and call for more field-based research.

With the investigation of Microplastics' distribution in the environment, and the experiment of biotoxicity exposure, the pollution of microplastics has become one of the hot environmental issues. A large number of studies have shown that microplastics have a great impact on the terrestrial ecosystem. In this paper, the source of microplastics in soil environment and agricultural system, and the reaction of microplastics pollution to plants are reviewed in combination with the research papers published in recent years.
