摘 要:Plastic pollution is a growing concern in soil ecosystems *** accumulation of(micro)plastic debris leads to a unique microenvironment,termed the“plastisphere.Notably,the dynamics and behaviors of the soil plastisphere diverge from its marine counterpart,where it is initially defined,thereby likely exhibiting an uncharacterized feature in ecological effects and *** understanding of the soil plastisphere holds significant implications for environmental science and practical applications in pollution management and agricultural *** with the oceanic plastisphere,research on the soil plastisphere is still in its infancy with limited but significant studies contributing to current knowledge.A recent seminal work by Rillig et al.(Rillig et al.,*** Reviews ***:10.1038/s41579-023-00967-2)has inspired us and provided comprehensive insights into the characteristics and function of the soil *** this commentary,we present core aspects of the soil plastisphere,encompassing its microbial communities,biogeochemical processes,and ecological implications,as well as highlight current methodologies probing this domain.
