Microplastic-Induced Reductions in Population, Fecundity, and Body Size of Soil Nematodes

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Microplastics (MP) pose potential harm to the environment and human health. However, only a few known studies focus on the size-dependent effects and toxicity of microplastics on soil-dwelling nematodes. In this study, we investigated the effects of micropolystyrene particles with diameter sizes of 0.1 µm, 0.5 µm, and 1 µm on the population abundance, fecundity, and body size of the t...
