Evaluation of the Comprehensive Effects of Biodegradable Mulch Films on the Soil Hydrothermal Flux, Root Architecture, and Yield of Drip-Irrigated Rice by Zhiwen Song, Guodong Wang, Quanyou Hao, Xin Zhu, Qingyun Tang, Lei Zhao, Qifeng Wu, Yuxiang Li

“…In contrast, BM-B₁ and BM-B₂ exhibited excessively rapid degradation rates, leading to significant fluctuations in soil moisture and temperature, thereby negatively affecting water supply and nutrient uptake and ultimately restricting root growth and development. (3) The entropy weight (EW) technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) model results revealed that although the PM treatment was more advantageous in terms of soil temperature, root dry weight, and soil moisture content, BM-B₃ provided a slightly higher yield than the PM treatment did and offered the advantage of biodegradability, making it a preferred alternative to conventional mulch film. …”
