Variations in soil aggregate distribution and associated organic carbon and nitrogen fractions in long-term continuous vegetable rotation soil by nitrogen fertilization and plastic film mulching

Fangli Wang et al.

Summary: This study assessed the impacts of plastic film mulching and N fertilization on the soil aggregate distribution and associated OC and N fractions in a 10-year continuous cucumber cabbage rotation soil. The results showed that plastic film mulching alleviated the impact of N fertilization on soil aggregate stability and resulted in higher contents of soil OC and dissolved OC in macroaggregates.

Effects of plastic mulch film residues on soil-microbe-plant systems under different soil pH conditions

Yin Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that long-term mulching can reduce rice growth, with 20 years of mulching showing more negative effects on rice tiller number and biomass than 60 years. PMFR altered the composition, diversity, and metabolic function of rhizosphere bacterial communities. As residues increased, the content of SOC decreased, with significant correlations observed between bacterial communities and SOC in the soil-microbe-plant system.

Plastic film mulching affects the critical nitrogen dilution curve of drip-irrigated maize

Lifeng Zhou et al.

Summary: The study found that plastic film mulching can reduce nitrogen content in the root zone soil and increase maize dry biomass. Compared to non-mulched crops, mulching led to a faster increase in dry biomass, resulting in a lower root-shoot ratio. CNDC can accurately determine nitrogen application rates for mulched drip-irrigated maize production.

A review of biodegradable plastics to biodegradable microplastics: Another ecological threat to soil environments?

Meng Qin et al.

Summary: Biodegradable plastics are considered as a promising substitute for non-degradable plastics that lead to serious pollution, but not all biodegradable plastics are fully degradable naturally. Some may disintegrate into microplastics at a faster rate than conventional plastics, posing a new threat to soil environments. Researchers are now investigating the potential adverse effects of biodegradable microplastics on soil ecosystems, suggesting that they may not be a complete solution to the issue of plastic pollution.

Polyethylene microplastics increase cadmium uptake in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) by altering the soil microenvironment

Fangli Wang et al.

Summary: Research has found that the addition of 10% MPs in soil has a negative impact on plant biomass, significantly decreases soil pH and cation exchange capacity (CEC), but significantly increases soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The presence of MPs increases the soil Cd bioavailability and plant Cd concentrations, potentially aggregating the combined toxicity.
