Effects of microplastics on crop nutrition in fertile soils and interaction with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers found that microplastic fibers at 0.4% concentration in soil disrupted potassium, magnesium, and sulfur uptake in onions, but that inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi buffered these negative effects by enhancing nutrient availability and plant uptake.

Potential Effects of Microplastic on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi

AI summary Read the abstract

This review examines how microplastics in soil affect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, finding evidence that microplastics can alter fungal colonization of plant roots, spore production, and the broader soil microbiome, with cascading effects on plant nutrient uptake.

Effects of microplastic types and shapes on the community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in different soil types

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers examined how different types and shapes of microplastics affect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities across various soil types. The study found that microplastics alter soil structure and chemistry in ways that disrupt these beneficial fungi, which play crucial roles in nutrient exchange, soil stability, and water movement.

Microplastic fiber and drought effects on plants and soil are only slightly modified by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers grew onions in soil contaminated with polyester microfibers under normal and drought conditions, finding that microfibers actually boosted plant growth and encouraged beneficial root fungi (mycorrhizae), but still degraded soil structure regardless. The results suggest microplastic fibers can subtly reshape plant-soil systems in ways not always visible at the surface.

Potential impacts of two types of microplastics on Solanum lycopersicum L. and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers investigated the potential impacts of two types of microplastics on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, examining how plastic pollution may disrupt plant-fungal symbiotic relationships in agricultural soils.
