Microplastics is a global pollutant of international concern.Soil is the largest reservoir of microplastics in the supergene environment.Microplastic contamination and its environmental behavior in soil play a crucial role in soil ecosystems.At present,many unknowns still exist for research on microplastics in soil.The recent progress of sources and status of soil microplastic pollution is reviewed systematically,and the detailed information on collecting,pre-treatment and extraction method of microplastics in soil are introduced,the merit and weakness of characteristic technologies for soil microplastics are compared,and the ecological risks of soil microplastic pollution on soil environment are analyzed.Finally,it is recommended that future research directions should emphasize to better understand the soil microplastics pollution,and thus provide theoretical basis for the risk management and control of soil microplastics pollution.
