Abstract

Obzirom da je mikroplastika jedan od gorućih problema današnjice, proučavanje njenog utjecaja
na živa bića od iznimne je važnosti. Biljke kao primarni producenti koji se nalaze na dnu
hranidbenog lanca dobivaju još jednu dimenziju važnosti. Naime, mikroplastika na mnogo načina
prikazanih u ovom radu, može umanjiti fotosintetsku sposobnost biljaka. Smanjenje primarne
produkcije te akumulacija plastike u biljnim tkivima predstavljaju problem za sva živa bića koja
ovise o biljkama, kao i za same biljke. Cilj ovog rada je približiti čitaocu probleme koje
mikroplastika može stvoriti u prirodi i agrikulturi.

Abstract (english)

Given that microplastics are one of the most pressing problems of today, studying their
impact on living beings is extremely important. Plants, as primary producers at the bottom of the
food chain, gain another dimension of importance. Namely, microplastics in many ways shown in
this paper can reduce the photosynthetic capacity of plants. The reduction of primary production
and the accumulation of plastic in plant tissues represent a problem for all living beings that depend
on plants, as well as for the plants themselves. The aim of this paper is to bring the reader closer to
the problems that microplastics can create in nature and agriculture.
