Biodegradable Plastic Mulch Films: Impacts on Soil Microbial Communities and Ecosystem Functions [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Agricultural plastic mulch films are widely used in specialty crop production systems because of their agronomic benefits. Biodegradable plastic mulches (BDMs) offer an environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional polyethylene (PE) mulch. Unlike PE films, which need to be removed after use, BDMs are tilled into soil where they are expected ...
