Abstract

Plants are integral components of ecosystems and key sources of food, medicine, and other resources for human societies. The interactions between micro(nano)plastics and plants have garnered significant attention in recent years due to the pervasive nature of plastic pollution and its potential impact on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the current understanding, critical knowledge gaps and future perspectives on the interactions between plants and plastic residues, including microplastics, nanoplastics, microfiber, and microbeads. Data was gathered from the Web of Science Core Collection database, with 1049 documents indexed from 2009 to 2023 for further analysis. Co-citation analysis combined with co-word network analysis was utilized. The findings indicate a notable increase in publication productivity on plastic-plant interactions over the past decade, with China, India, Italy, Korea, and Spain as the core research countries in the field. Chinese universities and research institutions, particularly Naikai University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, are the major research drivers. Weitao Liu from Naikai University was the most productive author up to 2023. Science of the Total Environment, Environmental Pollution, and Journal of Hazardous Materials were the top three journal that published the most articles. The most frequently cited article titled “Microplastics can change soil properties and affect plant performance” published in Environmental Science & Technology in 2019. The co-citation network highlights the interconnectedness of plant-plastic interactions, while burst analysis and thematic mapping suggest that future research will focus on the impact of emerging contaminants like microplastics and nanoplastics on soil health in the plastisphere. More long-scale and long-term interdisciplinary studies including plant species and polymer types at field condition are needed to a better understanding the plant-plastic interactions. This study offers a thorough and unbiased real-time analysis of plant-plastic interactions, highlighting current trends and outlining future research directions and priorities.

植物-塑料相互作用的新研究趋势:透彻分析
植物是生态系统不可或缺的组成部分,也是人类社会食物、药物和其他资源的重要来源。近年来,由于塑料污染的普遍性及其对陆地和水生生态系统的潜在影响,微(纳)塑料与植物之间的相互作用引起了人们的极大关注。本研究旨在分析目前对植物与塑料残留物(包括微塑料、纳米塑料、微纤维和微珠)之间相互作用的理解、关键知识差距和未来展望。数据收集自 Web of Science 核心数据库,其中收录了 2009 年至 2023 年的 1049 篇文献,以供进一步分析。共引分析与共词网络分析相结合。研究结果表明,在过去十年中,有关塑料与植物相互作用的论文发表率显著提高,中国、印度、意大利、韩国和西班牙成为该领域的核心研究国家。中国的大学和研究机构,特别是内开大学和中国科学院,是研究的主要推动者。来自内开大学的刘伟涛是截至 2023 年的高产作者。全环境科学》、《环境污染》和《危险材料学报》是发表文章最多的三大期刊。被引用次数最多的文章题为《微塑料可改变土壤性质并影响植物性能》,发表于2019年的《环境科学与技术》(Environmental Science & Technology)。共引网络凸显了植物与塑料之间相互作用的相互关联性,而突发分析和主题映射表明,未来的研究将重点关注微塑料和纳米塑料等新兴污染物对植物界土壤健康的影响。为了更好地了解植物与塑料之间的相互作用,需要进行更多大规模的长期跨学科研究,包括实地条件下的植物物种和聚合物类型。本研究对植物与塑料的相互作用进行了全面、公正的实时分析,突出了当前的趋势,并概述了未来的研究方向和重点。
