Film mulching can alleviate soil quality decrease and produce high maize yield under different irrigation strategies by Hao Quan, Lihong Wu, Jiaming Sun, Tibin Zhang, Lianhai Wu, Kadambot H.M. Siddique, Hao Feng, Bin Wang

“…However, CK, BI_PM, MDI_PM, and LDI_PM showed reductions in SQI in both soil layers, primarily due to decreased soil organic carbon (SOC) and structural stability, along with increased sand content and soil salinity; (3) according to the linear mixed-effects model, a low SQI (< 0.43), elevated temperatures, and drought indices negatively impact yield. …”
