Global trends and hotspots evolution in soil microplastic pollution research: A bibliometric analysis based on the Web of Science
Researchers analyzed global trends in soil microplastic research using bibliometric tools and found the field is still developing compared to water-based studies, with hotspots growing rapidly since 2018. China, the US, the Netherlands, and Australia lead publications, and the field needs to shift focus from measuring toxicity to understanding how microplastics affect entire soil ecosystems.
Review and future trends of soil microplastics research: visual analysis based on Citespace
A bibliometric analysis of soil microplastic research revealed that the field is still in early development compared to aquatic microplastic science, with growing focus on agricultural soil contamination, food security risks, and the role of sewage sludge and plastic mulch films as primary soil inputs. The authors identify key knowledge gaps and predict future research directions.
The Bibliometric Analysis of Microplastics in Soil Environments: Hotspots of Research and Trends of Development
This bibliometric analysis used CiteSpace to map research trends in soil microplastic contamination, identifying hotspots including microplastic effects on soil properties, organism interactions, and pollutant transport as key areas of growing scientific interest.
Global microplastics pollution: a bibliometric analysis and review on research trends and hotspots in agroecosystems
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of over 1,600 publications on microplastic pollution in agricultural ecosystems from 2012 to 2024, identifying China, the USA, Germany, and India as leading contributors. The analysis revealed emerging research hotspots including biochar remediation, biodegradable microplastics, and antibiotic resistance genes associated with plastic contamination. The study provides a comprehensive overview of how microplastics affect soil properties, microbial communities, and crop productivity, while identifying key knowledge gaps for future research.
Effect and environmental behaviour of microplastics in soil

The review highlights remaining knowledge gaps and emerging trends in the field of soil microplastic pollution.
Research progress and hotspot analysis of soil microplastics: a bibliometrics-based review
This bibliometric review analyzes research trends and hotspots in the study of soil microplastics, mapping the field's growth and key focus areas over recent years. Researchers found that topics like microplastic transport, ecological effects on soil organisms, and interactions with other pollutants have become increasingly prominent research themes.
Health risk analysis of microplastics in soil in the 21st century: A scientometrics review
This bibliometric review mapped global research on health risks of microplastics in soil from 2001 to the present, finding a sharp increase in publications after 2016 and identifying plastic mulch, plastic waste, and sewage sludge as the most studied MP sources in soil. The review highlighted growing concern about dietary exposure through MPs taken up by food crops grown in contaminated soils.
Pay Attention to Research on Microplastic Pollution in Soil for Prevention of Ecological and Food Chain Risks
This review summarizes research on microplastic sources, accumulation, degradation, and ecological effects in agricultural soils, arguing that soil microplastic pollution deserves the same level of attention as marine microplastic pollution. The paper calls for greater investment in understanding how microplastics affect soil organisms, plant health, and food safety in terrestrial food production systems.
The extent and impacts of soil pollution by microplastics
This study examines the extent and impacts of soil pollution by microplastics, reviewing evidence of how microplastic particles accumulate in terrestrial environments and affect soil ecosystems, organisms, and agricultural systems.

A comprehensive review summarized the sources, distribution, and ecological impacts of microplastics in soil environments, synthesizing evidence on how plastics affect soil organisms, structure, and agricultural productivity. The review calls for urgent policy action to address soil microplastic contamination as a threat to food security.
A Review on Microplastic in the Soils and Their Impact on Soil Microbes, Crops and Humans
This review examines microplastic contamination in agricultural soils, detailing how microplastic particles act as vectors for toxic organic pollutants and heavy metals, disrupting soil physicochemical properties, microbial communities, crop growth, and ultimately entering the human food chain.
Microplastic Contamination in Agricultural Soils Across India: A Systematic Review of Studies and Research Gaps
This systematic review examines microplastic contamination in agricultural soils across India, an area that has received far less attention than waterways. The research identifies polluted irrigation water, industrial discharge, and plastic mulch as key contamination sources, raising concerns about microplastics entering the food supply through crops grown in contaminated soil.
The Growing Problem of Soil Pollution with Microplastics: a Review
This review examined how microplastic accumulation in soil disrupts physicochemical properties including structure, porosity, and water retention, impairs soil microbial communities, inhibits plant growth, and causes oxidative stress, with agricultural soils identified as especially vulnerable to contamination.
Microplastics in Terrestrial Ecosystems: A Scientometric Analysis
A scientometric analysis of global microplastic literature in terrestrial ecosystems (Web of Science, 1986–2020) used co-occurrence visualization and citation mapping to characterize the rapid growth of terrestrial MP research and identify emerging focus areas such as soil health, agricultural plastics, and food safety.
A global review on the abundance and threats of microplastics in soils to terrestrial ecosystem and human health
This review examines microplastic pollution levels across agricultural, roadside, urban, and landfill soils worldwide, finding wide variation but consistent contamination. Microplastics alter soil pH, density, and water movement, disrupt microbial communities, inhibit plant growth, and affect soil animals. For humans, the concern is that microplastics in soil can enter the food chain through crops and contaminated water.
