    Abstract The escalating accumulation of plastic waste in ecosystems poses a significant health concern to soil environment, yet the environmental effects of plastics remains largely unexplored. Biodegradable plastics could offer a viable alternative to conventional persistent plastics, but our understanding of their potential benefits or detrimental effects on the decomposition of plant debris by soil biomass is limited. In this study, we conducted a year-long field experiment to examine the environmental response and impact on plant debris decomposition in the presence of varying quantities of persistent versus biodegradable plastics. Our findings indicate that the decomposition rate decreased by 2.8-4.9% for persistent plastics, while it increased by 1.3-4.2% for biodegradable plastics. Persistent plastics primarily induced adverse effects, including a reduction in soil nutrients, microbial diversity, bioturbation, enzyme activity, easily decomposable carbon, and microbial biomass carbon in plant debris. In contrast, biodegradable plastics resulted in beneficial effects such as an increase in enzyme activity, microbial biomass carbon, and easily decomposable carbon. We also observed that the decomposition rate of plant residues and nutrient release are closely associated with changes in the organic carbon chemical structure induced by different plastic film fragments. A significant shift in alkoxy carbon content facilitated the release of nutrients and soluble carbon, while modifications in carboxyl and aromatic carbon content hindered their release. Overall, our study reveals over one year that biodegradable plastics primarily induce positive effects on the decomposition of soil organic matter.

    Abstract Microplastic pollution can have detrimental effects on soil environments and inhibit crop growth. Earthworms, known as soil engineers, promote crop growth, but their role and impact on the amelioration of microplastic-polluted soil is not yet clear. In this study, we investigated the impact and pathways of earthworm activity on microplastic-contaminated soil by introducing varying densities (without earthworm:0, low-density: 1, medium-density: 2, high-density: 5 ind column

    Abstract Natural attenuation is a major ecosystem function allowing to abate soil organic contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Biodegradation of PAHs is classically considered as the major driver of natural attenuation, yet the role of abiotic transformation, including photodegradation, chemical oxidation, formation of non-extractable residues, and polymerization, has been overlooked due to the lack of investigations until recently. This paper reviews PAHs dissipation in soils by abiotic processes such as photodegradation and oxidation catalyzed by inorganic minerals and organic matters. The role of soil components on degradation rates, pathways, and mechanisms are discussed. The products of PAHs abiotic transformation and their potential risks are also described. Abiotic transformations are mainly controlled by interactions between PAHs and clay minerals, metal oxides/hydroxides, and soil organic matter. PAH photodegradation proceeds by both direct and indirect photolysis processes, which are enhanced in the presence of natural photosensitizers, for example, organic matter, and photocatalysts, for example, metal oxides/hydroxides. PAHs can also be chemically/catalytically oxidized by metal oxides/hydroxides, for example, MnO₂, FeₓOy, and clay minerals without light irradiation. Overall, PAHs transformation depends on their electron-donating properties, mineral electron-accepting properties, pH, temperature, moisture, and oxygen content. Following the elucidation of the transformative mechanism, knowledge to understand the impact of abiotic transformation on biodegradation are delineated. Future investigations are needed to advance the correlation of laboratory generated rates to the field applications, and the potential applications of natural attenuation based on abiotic processes are proposed.

    Abstract Interaction between natural organic matters (NOM) and heavy metal cations in aqueous environment are of great significance for maintaining stability of organic carbon and restraining transport of heavy metal contaminants in (bio)geochemical processes. We systematically explore the aggregation process and complexation between NOM and heavy metal cations (Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, Eu³⁺) under different pH condition by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, umbrella sampling method, and quantum chemistry calculations. The character of molecular structures NOM-heavy metal complexes and association are quantified. In acidic pH condition, aggregation proceeds via H-bonding and π-π interactions between NOM fragments. In neutral condition, Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Eu³⁺ can form inner-sphere complexes with the surface carboxylic groups and therefore reduce intermolecular charge repulsion, eventually leading to NOM aggregation, and it shows that even without direct binding, the outer-sphere adsorbed Zn²⁺ can also result in the formation of NOM assemble through H-bonding. Consequently, these heavy metals are capable of promoting NOM aggregation regardless of the complexing ways. Complexing free energy calculations characterized the dynamic processes of cations binding to the carboxylic groups of NOM fragment and the related energy landscape. This study provides quantitative insights for understanding the environmental processes of heavy metals and cycle of C in aquatic ecosystem, and contributes to developing environment-friendly strategies for controlling heavy metal contaminants.

    Abstract The toxicity of environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs), often generated during biochar production, on soil bacteria is still not truly reflected when considering the conditions in real soil. Herein, the influence of free radicals within biochar on soil bacteria was investigated from the perspectives of enzyme activity, community structure, and ecoenzymatic stoichiometry. Biochar addition enhanced the contents of EPFRs and derived hydroxyl radicals (

    Abstract The elemental composition may affect the persistent free radical (PFR) and reactive species (RS) formation associated with photoaging microplastics; however, a relevant study is still lacking. This study systematically investigated the formation, evolution, and types of PFRs and RS on sulfur-containing microplastics (S-MPs) under simulated sunlight. Electron paramagnetic resonance detection and power saturation curve analysis isolated three different PFRs on each photoaging poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) and polysulfone (PSF). Combining the results of characterization and density functional theory calculation, these observed PFRs on the irradiated S-MPs were classified as oxygen-centered radicals with an adjacent S atom (namely, thio-oxygen radicals), oxygen-centered and sulfur-centered radicals, where the thio-oxygen radicals on PPS were benzenethiol-like radicals, and oxygen-centered radicals and sulfur-centered radicals on PSF that were identified as benzenesulfonic-like radicals and phenyl sulfonyl-like radicals, respectively. Moreover, potential precursor molecule fragments of PFRs on the photoaging S-MPs, including

    Abstract Fluorescein diacetate hydrolase (FDA hydrolase) is a reliable biochemical biomarker of changes in soil microbial activity and quality. However, the effect and mechanism of lower-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on soil FDA hydrolase are still unclear. In this work, we investigated the effects of two typical lower-ring PAHs, naphthalene (Nap) and anthracene (Ant), on the activity and kinetic characteristics of FDA hydrolases in six soils differing in their properties. Results demonstrated that the two PAHs severely inhibited the activities of the FDA hydrolase. The values of V
