Abstract

Abstract

Microplastics had serious impact on soil ecosystem with the increasing concern. However, few studies on the migration of microplastics in the food chain of soil animals and their toxicological effects were available. In order to explore the biological transfer effect of sub-microplastics, four different materials, components of waste, heat preservation cotton, wheat bran-thermal insulation cotton and fine insulation cotton treated by Folsomia Candida, were used as a treatment factor to study the physiological and ecological effects of sub-microplastics on soil collembolans. The results showed that:1) on the 7th day, all the collembolans began to molt, and the larval mortality rates of the groups fed with heat preservation cotton, wheat bran heat preservation cotton and fine heat preservation cotton were 1.67%, 1.67% and 5%, respectively; 2) on the 14th day, the amount of molting increased, and the mortality of larvae in the groups of heat preservation cotton and fine heat preservation cotton was 6.67% and 5%, respectively, the oviposition of adults in each group increased sharply, and the oviposition rate of the control group fed with yeast was significantly higher than that of the treatment group; 3) on the 28th day, the increase of molting amount slowed down, except for the waste group, the larvae of each group increased; 4) compared with the control group, the molting, oviposition and biomass of the control group were the highest, and the body length increased significantly (P<0.05). The results of this study would further improve the basic data of the toxicological effects of sub-microplastics on soil animals, and provide theoretical basis for ecological risk assessment of sub-microplastics in soil environment.
