Soil microplastics inhibit the movement of springtail species
Environment International, 2019 Previous studies have indicated the means by which micro-sized plastic particles may affect the soil environment, and this could be linked to the behavior of plastics in the soil system and how these particles are influenced by biological responses. Soil-
