High concentrations of polyethylene microplastics restrain the growth of Cinnamomum camphora seedling by reducing soil water holding capacity by Run Yang, Jinping Wang, Huanying Fang, Jinwen Xia, Guomin Huang, Rongzhen Huang, Hong Zhang, Liqin Zhu, Lichao Zhang, Jihong Yuan

“…The structural equation model clearly indicated that the inhibitory effect of soil PE-MPs with high concentrations on seedling growth was mainly derived from the decrement of soil water holding capacity. Our findings help replenish the regulation mechanism of MPs on plant growth and suggest that C. camphora is a potentially good candidate for the phytoremediation of the low-level PE-MP-contaminated soil.…”
