LDPE and biodegradable plastics differentially affect plant-soil nitrogen partitioning and microbial uptake

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers found that both conventional LDPE and biodegradable plastics at concentrations simulating years of mulch film use altered nitrogen cycling in agricultural soil, reducing microbial nitrogen uptake and affecting nitrogen partitioning between soil and plant biomass without significantly harming barley growth.

Environmental fate and effects of mulch films on agricultural soil: A systematic review from application to residual impact

AI summary Read the abstract

This research investigated the biodegradation of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and related biodegradable polyesters under different environmental conditions, characterizing degradation rates and microbial communities involved. The study helps clarify under which environmental conditions certified biodegradable plastics actually degrade, informing labeling standards and end-of-life management.

Dataset for: "Long-term biodegradable mulch films application in agricultural fields: effects on soil functionality and microplastic generation"

AI summary Read the abstract

This is a dataset accompanying a study on the long-term use of biodegradable mulch films in agricultural fields, examining effects on soil function and whether these films generate microplastics over time. The research addresses a critical question for sustainable agriculture: whether biodegradable plastic alternatives to conventional mulch films genuinely reduce microplastic contamination in farmland soils.
