Deciphering microplastic ecotoxicology: impacts on crops and soil ecosystem functions

Circular Agricultural Systems, 2021
Review on microplastic toxicity in agroecosystems is scarce. Thus, we develop a conceptual model (based on literature to date) that describes various microplastic effects using a size-scale.
