Effects of plastic film mulch biodegradability on nitrogen in the plant-soil system
Science of The Total Environment, 2022 The application of biodegradable film mulching (BFM) instead of non-biodegradable film mulching (NBFM) is a promising way to mitigate the negative impacts of residual film in agricultural mulching systems. But the effects of BFM on soil mineral nitrogen (N) are not known.
