摘要： The wide and intensive application of plastics and their derived products has resulted in global environmental contamination of plastic waste. Large-sized plastic litter can be fragmented into microplastics (<5 mm), which have attracted increasing concerns from the general public and scientific communities worldwide. Until recently, the majority of microplastics research reported in literatures has been focusing on the aquatic settings, especially the marine environment, while information about microplastics contamination in terrestrial soil systems is highly insufficient. In this paper, we reviewed the latest data regarding the occurrence of microplastics in terrestrial soils and discussed their potential pathways into the soil environment. We also summarized the currently used methodologies for extraction and characterization of microplastics in soil matrices and evaluated their advantages and limitations. Additionally, we assessed the ecotoxicological consequences of microplastics contamination on soil ecosystems, including the effects on soil physiochemical properties, terrestrial plants, soil fauna, and soil microbes. Finally, based on the most current progress summarized in this review, we suggested several directions for future research on microplastics in soil ecosystems. (C) 2019 Published by Elsevier B.V.
