Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles less than 5 mm in diameter (Zhu et al., 2023). A growing body of evidence confirms that MPs are widely present in agricultural soil (Wang et al., 2021). The MPs are mainly derived from agricultural film covers, sludge landfills, applied compost, irrigation and wastewater flooding, atmospheric deposition, and automobile tire debris, with the abrasion of agricultural films being the main source of MPs contamination in soils (Fig.
