Soil C-N and Microbial Community Were Altered by Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate Microplastics [PDF]

Journal of Hazardous Materials
The risks posed by biodegradable plastics to the plant-soil system have been increasingly studied due to potentially hazardous effects on soil properties and nutrient cycling. In this study, we investigated the effects of Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) microplastics (PBAT-MPs) on soil carbon, nitrogen and microbial communities under different
