Summary

Researchers compared how polyethylene film, biodegradable film, liquid film, and no-mulch treatments affected soil bacterial and fungal communities under drip-irrigated potato production. They found that mulch type significantly altered soil microbial diversity, with polyethylene mulching having distinct effects on community composition.

Film mulching is an effective water-saving and yield-increasing measure for potato production in Northwest China. However, the response mechanism of microbial communities to mulching films in the soil is still unclear. In this study, polyethylene film mulching (PM), biodegradable film mulching (BM), liquid film mulching (LM), and non-mulching (NM) were applied on the drip-irrigated soil to investigate the effects of mulching films on soil bacterial and fungal communities through DNA sequencing, Pearson correlation analysis, and redundancy analysis. The results [...]
