Effects of microplastics and earthworm burrows on soil macropore water flow within a laboratory soil column setup
Abstract Several earlier studies reported that microplastics (MP) accumulated on soil surfaces could be transported into the subsoil and ingested by soil biota, such as earthworms. The present study explores how networks of earthworm burrows and MP (low‐density polyethylene, LDPE) in subsoil affect...
