Distinct microplastic distributions in soils of different land-use types: A case study of Chinese farmlands

Jiao Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution characteristics of microplastics in different types of farmland in China, revealing that plastic mulching is a major contributor to microplastic pollution in agricultural lands. Different land uses showed variations in microplastic characteristics, with cereal crop farmlands more likely to contain fibrous shapes and large microplastic particles, while economically important tree lands were likely to contain fragment shapes and small microplastic particles.

Occurrence, distribution and affecting factors of microplastics in agricultural soils along the lower reaches of Yangtze River, China

Lu Cao et al.

Summary: Microplastics are abundant in agricultural soils along the lower reaches of Yangtze River and estuary, predominantly originating from road input. Soil pH and texture are common factors affecting microplastic abundance.

Distribution characteristics of microplastics in agricultural soils from the largest vegetable production base in China

Lu Yu et al.

Summary: The study area in Shouguang City, Shandong Province is the largest greenhouse vegetable production base in Northern China. The research found that small-sized microplastics tend to migrate to deeper soil layers and that soil texture can affect the distribution of microplastics in local agricultural soils.

The occurrence of microplastics in farmland and grassland soils in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau: Different land use and mulching time in facility agriculture

Sansan Feng et al.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution of microplastics in soil in the eastern area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, revealing significant differences in abundance among different land use types. Microplastics were mainly in the form of film and transparent in color, with polyester and polypropylene as dominant polymers in the soil samples. The study provides important data for further research on microplastics in plateau terrestrial ecosystems.
