Root traits and rhizosphere responses as emerging bioindicators of microplastic pollution in agricultural soils: A review

Key Points

• Root traits may serve as effective bioindicators of microplastic pollution.
• Microplastic pollution affects the rhizosphere, impacting plant health and soil quality.
• The review uses various studies to demonstrate the significance of root traits in this context.
• Future assessments of agricultural soils may incorporate these bioindicators to monitor pollution.
