Rhizospheric bacterial communities against microplastics (MPs): Novel ecological strategies based on the niche differentiation

= 0.54, P < 0.001) and increasing MPs weathering degrees visualized by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) from non-rhizosphere to rhizosphere to root hair regions. Our study provides a novel insight into the ecological strategies that rhizospheric microbes utilize against MPs, and broadens our knowledge of the interaction between soil microbes and global MPs pollution.
