Effects of biodegradable film mulching on bacterial diversity in soils [PDF]

Archives of Microbiology, 2021
Abstract The spread of biodegradable plastic film (BDFs) not only increase grain yield but also reduce the environmental pollution from plastic film to a large extent. Soil microbes have been considered to be involved in biodegradation processes.

The aging of polyethylene mulch films in the presence of cadmium

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
To determine the fates of the persistent pollutants cadmium (Cd) and micro-plastics in agricultural soils, an in-depth understanding of the interactions between Cd and mulching film is required. In the present work, pot experiments are conducted under natural conditions to study the influence of various Cd concentrations on the aging process of ...
