The widespread use of microplastics leads to environmental pollution, which threatens ecosystem functions (i.e., nutrient cycling). Some studies have focused on the impacts of microplastics on phosphorus from plants and soils. However, inconsistent responses of plant and soil phosphorus to microplas...
