Zusammenfassung:Research Highlight : Lozano, Y. M., Gordillo, H., Waldmann, W., & Rillig, M. C. (2023). Photodegradation modifies microplastic effects on soil properties and plant performance. Journal of Applied Ecology , https://doi.org/10.1111/1365‐2664.14514 . Plastics are omnipresent in daily life and so is plastic waste in the environment. Once there, plastic waste remains for a long time, slowly disintegrating into ever smaller particles including microplastics (particles
