Microplastics of different shapes increase seed germination synchrony while only films and fibers affect seed germination velocity
Microplastics enter the soil in a variety of shapes and polymer types altering soil properties with known consequences for plant growth. However, the effects of a range of different microplastic shapes and types on seed germination are mostly unknown. Here, we established a glasshouse experiment tha...
