Baseline levels of microplastics in agricultural soils obscure the effects of additional microplastics from recycled fertilizers by Collin J. Weber, Dominika Kundel, Andreas Fliessbach, Else K. Bünemann, Moritz Bigalke

“…The study highlights those substantial high concentrations of microplastic might already occur in many soils, due to previous microplastic inputs over several decades from e.g., recycled fertilizer application like sewage sludge or from other diffuse sources. Whilst it was observed from the fluxes that digestate can be a substantial source of microplastics to soils, the comparatively short time of application and the high background at our investigated sites leads to a obscured effect where digestate inputs serve a limited function.…”
