Anthropogenic micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) contaminate global terrestrial ecosystems. Plants can uptake and transport MNPs, leading to adverse effects on plant morphology and physiology. MNPs can further transfer through the food chain, posing a potential risk to human health.
Anthropogenic micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) contaminate global terrestrial ecosystems. Interactions between MNPs and soil-plant systems are attracting increasing concerns and should be fully explored. Recent studies have indicated that many terrestrial plant species can take up and transport MNPs to the aboveground tissues. Plants exposed to MNPs have exhibited multiple adverse effects on plant morphology and physiology. Moreover, MNPs can be furtherly transferred through the food chain and finally may ingested by humans. This study reviews the current progress in the study of the characteristics, environmental processes, and ecological ef-fects of MNPs in soils, with the focusing on the uptake, transport, and toxicity of MNPs by plants. In addition, future research directions in the field of MNPs in soil-plant systems
