Degradable film mulching recruited beneficial microbiota and increased rhizosphere bacterial diversity in sunflower.

ABSTRACT: The degradable film can solve the problem that the traditional plastic film is difficult to recycle and heavy pollution for a long time. The effects of degraded film mulching on microbial diversity are significant. However, the responses of relevant microbial communities to degraded film mulching in different ecological niches (e.g., bulk soil, rhizosphere and endosphere) of sunflower roots are poorly understood. This study analyzed the effects of plastics film mulching on bacterial and fungal α-diversities (Shannon index), community assembly process, key dominant species of sunflower different ecological niches in roots. The results showed that degradable film mulching significantly increased the α-diversity (Shannon index) of bulk soil and rhizosphere soil bacteria and decreased the α-di
