Abstract excerpt
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau features elevated geogenic arsenic (As) and intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Under these conditions, UV radiation accelerates microplastic aging and the release of microplastic-derived dissolved organic matter (MP-DOM), posing a realistic co-exposure scenario for Tibetan hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum). While microplastic particle toxicity is well documented, the...
