Minimal vertical transport of microplastics in soil over two years with little impact of plastics on soil macropore networks

Abstract Plastics used in agriculture improve productivity and resource efficiency. As they fragment over time, microplastics are unintentionally released into soil, raising concerns regarding long-term implications for soil structure and fertility. Here we investigated microplastics transport and t...
