Plastics have become a growing pollution concern for agroecosystems and global food security. Biochar, as a pro-ecosystem/negative carbon emission technology, can be used as a circular solution for plastic-contaminated agricultural soils. Limited research has been done on the effects of biochar on plant growth and soil properties in microplastic-contaminated soil.
Plastics have become an emerging pollutant threatening the sustainability of agroecosystems and global food security. Biochar, a pro-ecosystem/negative carbon emission technology can be exploited as a circular approach for the conservation of plastics contaminated agricultural soils. However, relatively few studies have focused on the effects of biochar on plant growth and soil biochemical properties in a microplastic contaminated soil. This study investigated the effects of a cotton stalk (Gossypium hirsutum L.) biochar on plant growth, soil microbes, and enzyme activity in PVC microplastic (PVC-MPs) contaminated soil. Biochar amendment increased shoot dry matter production in PVC-MPs contaminated soil. However, PVC-MPs alone significantly reduced the soil urease and dehydrogenase activity, soil organic and microbial biomass carbon, bacterial/fungal community percentage, and their abundance (16S rRNA and 18S rRNA genes, respectively). Interestingly, biochar amendment with PVCMPs significantly alleviated the hazardous effects. Principal component and redundancy analysis of the soil properties, bacterial 16S rRNA genes, and fungal ITS in the biochar-amended PVC-MPs treatments revealed that the observed traits formed an obvious cluster compared to non-biochar treatments. To sum up, this study indicated that PVC-MPs contamination was not benign, while biochar shielded the hazardous effects and sustained soil microbial functionality.
