Nitrogen transformations in soil under plastic film mulching

, 2023
Abstract Aims Plastic film mulching induces significant shifts in soil temperature and water balance, thereby influencing microbial activities, particularly those associated with nitrogen (N) transformations. However, its effects on interactions between N fate and soil N transformations remain unclear.

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...
