Response of soil property and microbial community to biodegradable PBAT microplastics, conventional PE microplastics and straw residue

The production and promotion of degradable plastics is considered to be an important measure to solve plastic pollution. However, degradable plastics may be more likely to break up and produce microplastics into the soil environment for they are more sensitive to light, heat and biological effects. It is urgent to study the impact of degradable microplastics on the soil environment.
