Macro- and microplastic accumulation in soil after 32 years of plastic film mulching

Shitong Li et al.

Summary: Plastic film mulch is an agricultural technology that significantly increases agricultural production but also leads to severe plastic pollution. This study found a considerable accumulation of macro- and micro-plastics in soil after 32 years of continuous plastic mulch film use in an agricultural field. The long-term use of plastic film mulch not only causes surface pollution but also contamination in deep soil layers, making removal and remediation challenging.

Microplastics in arid soils: Impact of different cropping systems (Altay, Xinjiang)

Hao Liu et al.

Summary: Although microplastic pollution in the soil environment is an important research topic, few studies have focused on farmland soil in arid regions. This study investigated the influences of different cropping characteristics and agricultural practices on microplastic abundances, sizes, polymer compositions, and forms in farmland soil. The findings suggest that different cropping characteristics can affect the abundance and fragmentation of microplastics in agricultural soils, even within the same region, and thus the level and type of microplastic pollution.

Land-use patterns determine the distribution of soil microplastics in typical agricultural areas on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Zhang Haixin et al.

Summary: Land-use patterns have a significant impact on the abundance of soil microplastics in agricultural areas of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The abundance of microplastics in grassland and farmland soils is positively correlated with precipitation and ground temperature, and negatively correlated with average wind speed. The abundance of microplastics in particles smaller than 1 mm and pellet-shaped microplastics is positively correlated with soil organic carbon. Overall, land-use patterns are the most important factor influencing the abundance of soil microplastics.

Review on migration, transformation and ecological impacts of microplastics in soil

Shuling Zhao et al.

Summary: This review discusses the sources, distribution, migration, transformation, and ecological impacts of microplastics in soil. Microplastics mainly enter soil through mulch degradation, application of organic fertilizer, and plastic landfill, and they migrate and transform in soil systems under abiotic and biotic processes, affecting soil structure, nutrient cycling, and microbial community.

Accumulation of microplastics in greenhouse soil after long-term plastic film mulching in Beijing, China

Kang Wang et al.

Summary: Intensive use of plastic film and organic fertilizer in the greenhouse has led to microplastic contamination of the soil. This study investigated microplastic pollution in three different types of greenhouses and found that abandoned greenhouses had the highest abundance of microplastics, followed by normal greenhouses, and simple greenhouses. Microplastics in the soil were primarily fragment-shaped, white in color, and 0-1 mm in size, with the most common polymers being polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).

Occurrence status of microplastics in main agricultural areas of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China

Jianlong Li et al.

Summary: A large number of plastic products used in agricultural production have low recycling efficiency, resulting in the production of microplastics. This study investigates the microplastic contamination in the main agricultural areas of Xinjiang and finds that the majority of microplastics are bulk-shaped and white, with sizes mostly less than 0.5 mm. The contamination risk index for microplastics in this area is 108.92, indicating a grade III risk level. The study also reveals that there is little difference in microplastic abundance between paddy fields and garden lands, possibly due to similar pollution sources.

Jonas Alvarez-Lopeztello et al.

Summary: The study found that microplastics, mainly fibers and fragments, were present in the soils of various ecosystems in tropical lowland areas, with films and pellets not detected. Fibers and fragments ranged mainly from 150 to 500 micrometers, with sizes from 40 to 60 micrometers being the rarest. The concentration of fibers and fragments varied significantly among different ecosystems, and appeared to increase with higher levels of clay and sand.

New insights into the vertical distribution and microbial degradation of microplastics in urban river sediments

Lihua Niu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the vertical distribution of microplastics and the bacterial community assemblages in urban river sediments. The results showed that microplastics and associated microbial communities have vertical profiles in river sediments. The indicative plastic-degrading bacteria significantly increased in abundance and centrality from shallow to deep layers, suggesting a primary role in the degradation of microplastics in deep sediments.

Plastics in the Earth system

Aron Stubbins et al.

Summary: Plastic pollution has become a global issue, prompting us to consider plastics as emergent geomaterials never before seen in Earth's history. With high carbon content, plastics can rival natural organic carbon in some ecosystems, prompting geochemists to include plastics in their analyses to expedite understanding of plastics in the Earth system. Furthermore, plastics can serve as global-scale tracers to advance Earth system science.
