Microplastics in soil affect seed germination velocity and synchrony

Microplastic effects on seed germination of Daucus carota. Shapes ( fibers, films, foams, and fragments) each one made of 3 different polymer types. Germination was measured on days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49. Germination parameteres were calculated using Germinationmetrics (Percentage of final germination, velocity, and synchrony).

微塑料（Microplastic）对胡萝卜（Daucus carota）种子萌发的影响。本数据集所用微塑料包含纤维、薄膜、泡沫与碎屑四种形状，每种形状均由3种不同聚合物制备而成。分别于第7、14、21、28、35、42和49天测定种子萌发情况。通过Germinationmetrics工具计算得到三项萌发参数：最终萌发率、萌发速率与萌发同步性。
