Microplastic pollution in agricultural soils: Microbial interactions, food-chain risks, and management strategies with special reference to high-altitude agroecosystems
Key Points
Food-chain risks are heightened due to microplastic pollution in agricultural soils, impacting health.
Microbial interactions in soils are altered by the presence of microplastics, with unknown long-term effects.
Assessment highlights management strategies that could mitigate microplastic risks in high-altitude agroecosystems.
Impacts of pollution may vary significantly between different agroecosystem settings, indicating a need for tailored approaches.
