Özet
The increasing presence of microplastics (MPs) and cadmium (Cd) in agricultural soils represents an emerging environmental challenge, necessitating urgent investigation due to their potential synergistic effects on soil and plant health. This study investigated how polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs) affect Cd behavior in soil, focusing on both their individual and combined impacts on soil pH, Cd bioavailability, plant growth, and nutrient dynamics. MPs can act as carriers of Cd, enhancing its mobility within the soil–plant system. To achieve this, a pot experiment was conducted using soils treated with different doses of PE MPs (0%, 1%, and 2%, w/w) and Cd (20 mg Cd kg−1). Soil pH, DTPA-extractable Cd, plant growth parameters, Cd accumulation in roots and shoots, and mineral nutrient concentrations were measured. The results indicated that while Cd alone did not significantly alter soil pH, increasing MP …
