Abstract

Plastic pollution of the environment (including soil) is one of the world’s great problems; however, little is known about the effect of synthetic polymers on the soil community. This review summarizes the results of experimental research on the effects of plastic on different groups of soil animals (21 studies) and soil animals on plastic in the soil (13 studies). The presence of microplastic in soil has a negative influence on nematodes, collembolans, pot worms, and earthworms. The mechanisms of this influence often involve damage or dysfunction of the digestive system. On the other hand, soil animals can contribute to the mechanical degradation of plastics and stimulate their microbial degradation in soil. Based on the extensive experience in studying the consequences of plastic pollution of marine ecosystems, we discuss the main problems, tasks, and prospects of studies on the interaction between plastic and soil animals.

无脊椎动物与合成聚合物在土壤中的相互作用：综述

摘要

环境（包括土壤）的塑料污染是世界上最大的问题之一。然而，关于合成聚合物对土壤群落的影响知之甚少。这篇综述总结了塑料对不同组的土壤动物（21个研究）和土壤动物对土壤中塑料（13个研究）的影响的实验研究结果。土壤中存在的微塑性物质会对线虫，集虫，菜虫和earth产生负面影响。这种影响的机制通常涉及消化系统的损害或功能障碍。另一方面，土壤动物可以促进塑料的机械降解并刺激其在土壤中的微生物降解。基于研究海洋生态系统塑料污染后果的丰富经验，我们讨论了主要问题，
