Fig. 2

Overall, microplastic shape and polymer effects on soil aggregation process components and organic matter loss. The distribution of the observed effect sizes is presented as blue-colored dots with circle size depicting study quality; studies with low variability and high number of replicates are represented with large sized symbols. The overall and subgroup effect size estimates and their variances are displayed as means and 95% confidence intervals for all groups comprising 3 or more observed effect sizes (trials). Additionally, the number of trials (number of observed effect sizes per study) and studies (number of publications giving data to our data sets) contributing to the presented effects are shown on top of each corresponding panel
