Response to the reviewer comments #2
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a second reviewer response document for the same study on microplastic and microglass effects on soil microbial communities. The reviewer raises concerns about the experimental design and suggests caution in interpreting the results. This is a peer review commentary rather than an original research article.
This manuscript investigates the effects of microplastic and microglass particles on the structure of microbial communities in soil using soil microcosms that have been spiked with these contaminants. The issue of micro-particles in the environment is very topical, and while there is a lot of information about the impact of macro-plastics C1
