Abstract Mineral fertilizers have sustained food security for decades, yet the long-term impacts on soil microbial communities underpinning soil health remain virtually unknown. We combine standardized field surveys with a meta-analysis to assemble a global dataset of 501 long-term agricultural experiments (≥5 years, median duration 25 years) to evaluate the impacts of sustained mineral fertilization on soil properties and microbial communities.

Plastics are widely used in daily life and contribute to environmental pollution. Global plastic emissions reached 359 million tons in 2018, with China being the major producer, accounting for more than 20% of the total emissions (83 million tons) (Wang et al. 2019; Ge et al. 2021). Plastics exposed to the environment over time can break down into fragments and even smaller microplastics through mechanical crushing, chemical decomposition, biodegradation, and ultraviolet radiation (Ya et al.
