摘要:
在全球塑料污染问题日益加剧的背景下,生物可降解塑料作为传统塑料的重要替代材料受到广泛关注,但生物可降解塑料在环境降解过程中可能在较短时间内产生大量微塑料,其潜在生态风险尚未得到充分认识,尤其是其对植物–土壤生态系统的影响仍缺乏系统性总结。综述了近年来微塑料,特别是生物可降解微塑料,对植物生长与生理过程的研究进展,重点归纳其对植物形态、生理代谢、营养吸收及植物–土壤相互作用的影响机制,并分析当前研究中存在的不足与争议。旨在为深入理解生物可降解微塑料在植物-土壤系统中的环境行为及生态效应提供理论依据,为相关环境风险评估与后续研究提供参考。
Abstract:
In the context of increasingly severe global plastic pollution, biodegradable plastics have attracted great attention as a promising alternative to conventional plastics. However, biodegradable plastics may generate substantial amounts of microplastics within a relatively shorter period during environmental degradation, and their potential ecological risks—especially their impacts on plant-soil ecosystems—are not yet fully understood and remain systematically underexplored. This review summarized recent research progress on the effects of microplastics, especially biodegradable microplastics, on plant growth and physiological processes, focusing on the mechanisms by which they influence plant morphology, physiological metabolism, nutrient uptake, and plant-soil interactions. It also analyzed current research gaps and controversies in the field.?This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for an in-depth understanding of the environmental behavior and ecological effects of biodegradable microplastics in plant-soil systems and to offer insight for related environmental risk assessments and future research.
