Article Synopsis
- Microplastics accumulate in soil due to their durability, which affects soil properties and plant growth, particularly in beech seedlings.
- The study examined the effects of polypropylene and styrene microplastics at 2.5% and 7% concentrations on seedling nutrition, root structure, and overall growth.
- Results indicated that microplastics negatively impacted seedling health, influencing nutrient ratios, root diameter, leaf size, and enzyme activity compared to control groups without microplastics, highlighting the importance of understanding plastic pollution in forest ecosystems.
