Effect of different microplastics on the mobilization of soil inorganic phosphorus by exomycorrhizal fungi

by Xia W. Zhang L. Ye C. Peng Y.P. Yang Y. Zhu N.

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

Microplastics (MPs) can affect the phosphorus (P) cycle in soil by changing soil properties and the function of microbial communities, but their impact on soil P availability remains unclear. To explore the effects of different types of MPs on the mobilization of soil inorganic P by exomycorrhizal...
