Degradable film mulching increases soil carbon sequestration in major Chinese dryland agroecosystems. [PDF]

Nat Commun
Plastic film mulching (PM), which contributes to nearly half of the increased crop yields in dryland agroecosystems, exacerbates environmental burdens due to its non-degradable nature. Globally, there is a growing demand to replace non-degradable PM with
