ClearGlobal research landscape of microplastics and their impact on earthworm: a bibliometric analysis
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis — a statistical review of published research — to map global trends in studies on how microplastics affect earthworms, finding steady growth in publications through 2022 with China and Europe leading the research. Earthworms are a key focus because they live in soil, help decompose organic matter, and serve as an indicator species for measuring how microplastics disrupt soil health.
Underestimated and ignored? The impacts of microplastic on soil invertebrates—Current scientific knowledge and research needs
This review highlights the critical gap in research on how microplastics affect soil invertebrates, noting that soil ecosystems receive far more plastic pollution than oceans yet the ecological consequences for soil fauna remain poorly understood and largely unstudied.
A Bibliometric Analysis of Soil Pollution due to Microplastics
This bibliometric analysis reviewed the scientific literature on soil microplastic pollution to map research trends, key contributors, and knowledge gaps. The study found growing global research interest in this area and highlighted that microplastics entering the food chain through contaminated soil represents an underappreciated pathway to human exposure.

Researchers identified key themes including microplastic sources, soil organism impacts, and interactions with other pollutants. The study maps out knowledge gaps and suggests future research priorities for understanding how microplastics affect land-based environments.
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.
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.
Flow cytometric analysis of hepatopancreatic cells from Armadillidium vulgare highlights terrestrial isopods as efficient environmental bioindicators in ex vivo settings
Researchers optimized a method for analyzing individual cells from the digestive organ of pill bugs (terrestrial isopods) and used it to detect pollution-related stress across sites with different contamination levels. The findings position these common soil invertebrates as practical, early-warning biological indicators for environmental pollution monitoring.
A bibliometric analysis and literature review of earthworms used as bio-indicators for assessing soil heavy metal pollution
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of two decades of studies on using earthworms as biological indicators of soil heavy metal pollution. They found that zinc, copper, cadmium, and lead are the most commonly studied metals, with growing interest in how earthworms accumulate and respond to these contaminants. The review highlights earthworms as valuable tools for monitoring soil health and identifies emerging research directions in soil pollution assessment.
Trends and Emerging Hotspots in Toxicology of Chironomids: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis
This bibliometric analysis mapped trends and emerging research hotspots in chironomid toxicology using publications from the Web of Science and PubMed databases. The study identified growing research interest in using these aquatic insects as bioindicators for environmental pollution, including emerging contaminants like microplastics, reflecting the expanding scope of ecotoxicology research.
Descriptive Mappings of Global‐Related Research Studies on Invertebrates in the Context of Agriculture
A bibliometric analysis using the Web of Science database examined research publications on invertebrates and agriculture from 1991 to 2022, identifying trends, key research topics, and gaps in the literature. The study provided a descriptive mapping of how invertebrate-agriculture research has evolved and expanded over three decades.
Flow cytometric analysis of hepatopancreatic cells from Armadillidium vulgare highlights terrestrial Isopods as efficient environmental bioindicators in ex vivo settings
This study used flow cytometry to analyze hepatopancreatic cells from pill bugs (Armadillidium vulgare) as a sensitive biomonitoring tool for soil contamination. Terrestrial isopods are efficient bioindicators of soil pollution including microplastics, and this ex vivo method offers a sensitive way to detect cellular-level damage.
Review and future trends of soil microplastics research: visual analysis based on Citespace
