Abstract

This systematic review article addresses the impact of nanoparticles on soil ecosystems, particularly within the context of agriculture and environmental sustainability. Both the benefits and risks of nanoparticles in the soil are explored, emphasizing their potential to enhance agricultural productivity, promote plant growth under stress conditions, and contribute to the remediation of contaminated soils. However, the article also examines their ecotoxicological effects, such as damage to soil organisms and disruption of microbial communities, which could compromise soil health and biodiversity. Furthermore, the risks associated with the bioaccumulation of nanoparticles and their interaction with other soil contaminants are discussed. The article underscores the need for further research into the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles and their long-term effects, aiming to guide their responsible use in agricultural and environmental applications.
