Missing relationship between meso- and microplastics in adjacent soils and sediments.
TLDR
In this paper, a large watershed-estuarine area of Bohai Sea was used as a case study, and soils and sediments were sampled adjacent to each other at a wide range of sites.About:

Accumulation of microplastics in greenhouse soil after long-term plastic film mulching in Beijing, China.
TL;DR: In this article , the contamination of microplastics in three different types of greenhouses (abandoned greenhouse, normal greenhouse, and simple greenhouse) were investigated, and the abundance of micro-plastic in abandoned greenhouse reached as high as 2215.56 ± 1549.86 items kg-1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is mulch film itself the primary source of meso- and microplastics in the mulching cultivated soil? A preliminary field study with econometric methods.
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used a stratified random sampling method to selectively interview households in Hebei province, China (400 households, 20 villages, 5 counties) to collect household characteristics and mulch film use behavior of 41 households.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil microplastic pollution under different land uses in tropics, southwestern China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors evaluated the overall characteristics of soil MPs and analyzed the distribution and source of soil MP in different soil layers and land uses, and revealed the widespread presence of soil microplastic pollution in tropical areas, from artificial ecosystems to natural ecosystems, in both the top and deep soil layers.

The physical impacts of microplastics on marine organisms: a review.
TL;DR: This review focuses on marine invertebrates and their susceptibility to the physical impacts of microplastic uptake and an assessment of the relative susceptibility of different feeding guilds.

Microplastics in freshwater and terrestrial environments: Evaluating the current understanding to identify the knowledge gaps and future research priorities.
TL;DR: This review critically evaluates the current literature on the presence, behaviour and fate of microplastics in freshwater and terrestrial environments and, where appropriate, draws on relevant studies from other fields including nanotechnology, agriculture and waste management.
