摘 要:Tire particles(TPs)are a major source of microplastic on land,and considering their chemical composition,they represent a potential hazard for the terrestrial *** studied the effectsof TPs at environmentally relevant concentrations alongawide concentrationgradient(0–160 mg g^(-1))and tested the effects on plant growth,soil pH and the key ecosystem process of litter decomposition and soil *** addition of TPs negatively affected shoot and root growth already at low *** litter decomposition slightly increased with lower additions of TPs but decreased later *** pH increased until a TP concentration of 80 mg g^(-1) and leveled off *** respiration clearly increased with increasing concentration of added *** growth was likely reduced with starting contamination and stopped when contamination reached a certain level in the *** presence of TPs altered a number of biogeochemical soil parameters that can have further effects on plant *** the quantities of yearly produced TPs,their persistence,and toxic potential,we assume that these particles will eventually have a significant impact on terrestrial ecosystems.
