The present paper introduces soil as a complex system, so a multidisciplinary approach is needed tostudy not only the composition, abundance, and transport of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial ecosystems butalso soil properties and processes involved in their degradation and/or interaction with soil polyphasic matrix.Despite many researchers focusing their studies on the impact of MPs on the terrestrial ecosystem over thepast years, little has been done about the use of biochemical indicators to study their effect on soil functionality.

Abstract

The present paper introduces soil as a complex system, so a multidisciplinary approach is needed tostudy not only the composition, abundance, and transport of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial ecosystems butalso soil properties and processes involved in their degradation and/or interaction with soil polyphasic matrix.Despite many researchers focusing their studies on the impact of MPs on the terrestrial ecosystem over thepast years, little has been done about the use of biochemical indicators to study their effect on soil functionality.
