Plastic pollution in agricultural landscapes: an overlooked threat to pollination, biocontrol and food security

Abstract Ecosystem services such as pollination and biocontrol may be severely affected by emerging nano/micro-plastics (NMP) pollution. Here, we synthesize the little-known effects of NMP on pollinators and biocontrol agents on the organismal, farm and landscape scale. Ingested NMP trigger organism...
