Microplastic Disguising As Soil Carbon Storage
AI summary Read the abstract
This study investigated whether microplastics in soil are mistakenly counted as carbon storage, finding that microplastic particles can interfere with soil carbon measurements and may cause overestimates of organic carbon in agricultural and natural soils.

Microplastics disrupt accurate soil organic carbon measurement based on chemical oxidation method
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastic contamination of soil was found to interfere with standard chemical oxidation methods for measuring soil organic carbon, leading to significant overestimates because plastic particles are oxidized alongside organic matter during analysis.
Abundances of agricultural microplastics and their contribution to the soil organic carbon pool in plastic film mulching fields of Xinjiang, China
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that microplastics in plastic-mulched agricultural fields in Xinjiang, China contribute to the soil organic carbon pool, potentially causing overestimation of soil carbon sequestration when conventional measurement methods fail to separate microplastics from soil.
Microplastics and hydrocarbons in soils: Quantification as an anthropic carbon source
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers quantified the carbon contribution of microplastics and hydrocarbons to soil organic carbon in a coastal urban wetland in Argentina, finding an average of 587 items/kg of microplastics (predominantly fibers) that together with total hydrocarbons added up to 1.23 tons of carbon per hectare. The study highlights that conventional loss-on-ignition methods miscount microplastics as soil organic carbon, potentially skewing organic carbon assessments in contaminated soils.
Hidden Carbon: How Polymers Influence Soil Organic Matter and Carbon Cycling
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted a bibliometric and qualitative review of polymer-soil organic matter interactions from 1979 to 2025, finding that microplastic particles alter soil aggregation, microbial activity, and carbon sorption dynamics in ways that could affect the long-term stability and cycling of soil organic carbon, though methodological heterogeneity across studies limits firm conclusions.
Effect of biodegradable PBAT microplastics on the C and N accumulation of functional organic pools in tropical latosol
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how biodegradable PBAT microplastics affect carbon and nitrogen storage in tropical soil and found that they significantly increased carbon in all major soil organic pools. The largest increase occurred in particulate organic matter, where PBAT debris was incorporated into the soil carbon pool, boosting total carbon by 116-191%. The study suggests that while biodegradable microplastics add carbon to soil, this may create a misleading picture of soil health since the carbon comes from plastic contamination rather than natural organic sources.
