摘要： Cadmium (Cd) and microplastics (MPs) gradually increased to be prevalent contaminants in soil, it is important to understand their combined effects on different soil-plant systems. We studied how different doses of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyethylene (PE) affected Cd accumulation, pakchoi growth, soil chemical and microbial properties, and metabolomics in two soil types. We found that high-dose MPs decreased Cd accumulation in plants in red soil, while all MPs decreased Cd bioaccumulation in fluvo-aquic soil. This difference was primarily attributed to the increase in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and pH in red soil by high-dose MPs, which inhibited Cd uptake by plant roots. In contrast, MPs reduced soil nitrate nitrogen and available phosphorus, and weakened Cd mobilization in fluvo-aquic soil. In addition, high-dose PLA proved detrimental to plant health, manifesting in shortened shoot and root lengths. Co-exposure of Cd and MPs induced the shifts in bacterial populations and metabolites, with specific taxa and metabolites closely linked to Cd accumulation. Overall, coexposure of Cd and MPs regulated plant growth and Cd accumulation by driving changes in soil bacterial community and metabolic pathways caused by soil chemical properties. Our findings could provide insights into the Cd migration in different soil-plant systems under MPs exposure. Environmental Implication: Microplastics (MPs) and cadmium (Cd) are common pollutants in farmland soil. Coexposure of MPs and Cd can alter Cd accumulation in plants, and pose a potential threat to human health through the food chain. Here, we investigated the effects of different types and doses of MPs on Cd accumulation, plant growth, soil microorganisms, and metabolic pathways in different soil-plant systems. Our results can contribute to our understanding of the migration and transport of Cd by MPs in different soil-plant systems and provide a reference for the control of combined pollution in the future research.
