As a transition zone between land and ocean, coastal soils have unique microplastic pollution characteristics. To reveal the characteristics of microplastic pollution in coastal soils, soils with different salinization levels were collected from Wudi County toward the sea. The distribution characteristics of microplastics and their relationship with soil physical and chemical properties were analyzed through density separation, oxidative digestion, and micro-Raman spectroscopy techniques. The pollutant load index method was used to assess its ecological risk. The results showed that microplastics were detected in 51 sampling points of coastal soil in Wudi County, and the abundance of microplastics ranged from 550 to 3 950 n·kg<sup>-1</sup>. Polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) accounted for 53.1%, 13.9%, 16.4%, 8.4%, and 8.2%, respectively. The shapes of microplastics mainly included film (accounting for 62.0%), fiber (accounting for 13.7%), sphere (accounting for 13.2%), and sheet (accounting for 11.1%). Microplastics with grain size less than 1 000 μm accounted for 85.0%. The lowest abundance of microplastics appeared in the bare land with the highest degree of salinization, and the highest abundance appeared in the non-salinized cotton soil. The abundance of microplastics was significantly correlated with soil salinization levels (<i>P</i>< 0.05). With saline level increasing, the total abundance of microplastics and the abundance of film, PE, and PET microplastics decreased significantly (<i>P</i>< 0.05). The proportion of microplastics with grain size greater than 1 000 μm decreased significantly (<i>P</i>< 0.05), but the proportion of microplastics with grain size less than 100 μm increased significantly (<i>P</i>< 0.05). This may be because of the different soil use types and different sources of microplastics in soils with varied saline levels. Soil organic carbon (SOC) was significantly positively correlated with the abundance of microplastics (<i>P</i>< 0.05). The risk load index (PLI) values of all soil samples ranged from 1.19 to 2.41, which were low risk level pollution. Among them, the PLI values of wasteland and bare land with high saline level were lower, and the PLI values of soils with low saline level were higher.

Agricultural net carbon sinks exhibited regional aggregation characteristics, forming two distinct growth areas. The traditional growth area comprised Shandong and Henan as the core and Hebei, Anhui, and Jiangsu as the neighboring radiation areas.

The InVEST model and geodetector were then coupled to explore the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and influencing factors of habitat quality from 2000 to 2030.

Projections for different scenarios in 2030 indicated that the land changes in the NDS scenario aligned with the historical development pattern. In contrast, the EPS scenario significantly constrained the expansion of construction land, while the PS scenario exhibited varying degrees of growth in construction land, water, and forest land. In the PS scenario, a notable increase was observed in the area of construction land, water, and forest land. In the PS scenario, the area of built-up land, water, and forest land all demonstrated varying degrees of increase. ② From 2000 to 2020, the area of high and high-grade habitat quality accounted for 57% of the total area.

In contrast, the EPS scenario was expected to result in a significant improvement in habitat quality, as a consequence of the protection of ecological land. By 2030, the NDS scenario will continue to degrade habitat quality due to the continuous increase of construction land, whereas the EPS scenario will greatly improve habitat quality because of the effective protection of ecological land, resulting in a positive trend of change. ③ Slope was the primary factor influencing the spatial variation of habitat quality and interacted significantly with other factors.
