Effect of Multiyear Biodegradable Plastic Mulch on Soil Microbial Community, Assembly, and Functioning by Xiaowei Liu, Zongyu Wen, Wei Zhou, Wentao Dong, Huiqing Ren, Gang Liang, Wenwen Gong

“…We observed that PBAT treatment enriched specific bacterial genera, such as <i>Pantoea</i>, potentially involved in plastic degradation, and fungal genera like <i>Cephaliophora</i> and <i>Stephanosporaceae</i>, which may play a role in organic matter decomposition. A null model analysis revealed that bacterial community assembly was largely shaped by deterministic processes, with stronger environmental selection pressures in PBAT-treated soils, while fungal communities were more influenced by stochastic processes. …”
