| Abstract: |
| Plastics and their derived products are widely used in modern society, hence they are becoming indispensable. However, their wide and intensive use has caused global environmental contamination of plastics. In recent years, soil pollution with microplastics has also received increasing attention. This paper aims to provide a review on recent developments in understanding the impacts of microplastic pollution on soil ecosystem, and it will cover:(1) effects of microplastics on soil physiochemical properties;(2) effects of microplastics on soil microbial communities; and(3) the interactions between microplastics and soil fauna. Finally, future research directions are discussed. |
