Small-sized biodegradable PLA microplastics inhibit plant nitrogen uptake by reshaping soil microbial communities and stimulating microbial metabolism.
The effects of microplastics (MPs) varying in polymer type and size on soil microbial community composition, metabolic functions, and nutrient cycling remain insufficiently understood. Here, we conducted a pot experiment using MPs differing in polymer type (non-biodegradable polyethylene [PE], and biodegradable polylac...
