This track will explore the sources and pathways of microplastics in soil systems, emphasizing their role in soil contamination. Discussions will focus on the implications for soil health and ecosystem integrity.

This session will examine the effects of microplastics on various terrestrial ecosystems, including their influence on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Research highlighting the interactions between microplastics and soil organisms will be featured.

This track will delve into the bioavailability of microplastics to soil organisms, including plants and invertebrates. Studies addressing the mechanisms of uptake and the subsequent ecological consequences will be discussed.

This session will investigate the interactions between earthworms and microplastics, focusing on the implications for soil structure and nutrient cycling. Research on the effects of microplastics on earthworm health and behavior will be highlighted.

This track will explore the impact of microplastics on soil microbial communities, including shifts in community composition and function. Studies will address how these changes affect soil health and ecosystem processes.

This session will focus on the adsorption mechanisms of microplastics in soil matrices and their retention dynamics. Research will cover factors influencing microplastic retention and their potential for soil remediation.
