Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) in soil can affect soil quality, and interfere with the material cycle and energy flow of terrestrial ecosystem. To explore the migration of MPs in soil and its effect on farmland soil quality, a soil column experiment was conducted to simulate the migration of MP particles in soil under rainful condition. The results showed that at a mass ratio of 2%, the migration capacity of polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polylactic acid MPs in the soil columns was similar. The presence and type of MPs had no significant effect on soil bulk density. The influence of MPs on the quantity of water stable macro-aggregates (> 0.25 mm) was more significant in the top soil layer (0–5 cm) where the MPs were added than in the middle and bottom layers (5–20 cm). Under leaching, MPs decreased the available phosphorus concentration in soil.The results of this study can improve the understanding of the effects of MPs on the soil quality and provide reference information for the environmental risk assessment of MPs in farmland soils.

期刊介绍： Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments. Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
