Soil solarization is usually performed with polyethylene plastic films, which are often disposed of by taking them to landfills, burying them in soil, burning them or occasionally recycling them, and these approaches have a great impact on the environment. Therefore, the use of biodegradable films seems to be an interesting eco-sustainable alternative to traditional films. The effect of soil solarization carried out by using biodegradable mulch or traditional polyethylene plastic film was determined under greenhouse conditions. The response of the soil was assessed by chemical determinations and microbiological culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches to evaluate the microbial biodiversity, biological status and quality of the soil. The biodegradable film avoided a high ammonia concentration in the soil, thanks to both lower soil water content and slightly lower temperature than polyethylene film, and these conditions probably have been optimal for growth of nitrifying bacteria, which were more efficient in BIO, as highlighted not only by lower ammonia value but also by higher nitrate value. Both films did not affect organic matter and total nitrogen content. Moreover, the modifications of the environmental and ecological conditions associated with the different film covers applied to the soils affected prokaryotic and eukaryotic populations, leading to the establishment of a new dominant microbial community. Interestingly, microbiological analyses highlighted a different behavior modulated with the two films indicating different times of recovery post stress.

Overall, the results highlighted the potential of biodegradable film that appears to be a suitable replacement for traditional polyethylene plastic film for soil solarization, with great environmental benefits.

土壤日晒通常使用聚乙烯塑料薄膜进行，通常通过将它们带到垃圾填埋场，掩埋在土壤中，燃烧或偶尔回收利用来进行处理，这些方法对环境有很大影响。因此，使用生物可降解膜似乎是传统膜的一种有趣的生态可持续替代方法。在温室条件下，确定了使用可生物降解的覆盖物或传统的聚乙烯塑料薄膜对土壤进行日晒的影响。土壤的响应通过化学测定，微生物培养依赖性和非培养依赖性的方法进行评估，以评估土壤的微生物多样性，生物学状况和质量。可生物降解的薄膜避免了土壤中高浓度的氨，由于土壤含水量和温度都比聚乙烯薄膜低，这些条件对于硝化细菌的生长可能是最佳的，这些细菌在BIO中更有效，不仅因为氨含量较低，而且硝酸盐含量较高。两种膜均不影响有机物和总氮含量。此外，与适用于土壤的原核生物和真核生物不同的覆盖膜相关的环境和生态条件的改变，导致建立了新的优势微生物群落。有趣的是，微生物学分析强调了两种膜调节的不同行为，表明应力后恢复时间不同。这些条件对于硝化细菌的生长可能是最佳的，这些硝化细菌在BIO中更有效，不仅低氨值而且高硝酸盐值也突出了这一点。两种膜均不影响有机物和总氮含量。此外，与适用于土壤的原核生物和真核生物不同的覆盖膜相关的环境和生态条件的改变，导致建立了新的优势微生物群落。有趣的是，微生物学分析强调了两种膜调节的不同行为，表明应力后恢复时间不同。这些条件对于硝化细菌的生长可能是最佳的，这些硝化细菌在BIO中更有效，不仅低氨值而且高硝酸盐值也突出了这一点。两种膜均不影响有机物和总氮含量。此外，与适用于土壤的原核生物和真核生物不同的覆盖膜相关的环境和生态条件的改变，导致建立了新的优势微生物群落。有趣的是，微生物学分析强调了两种膜调节的不同行为，表明应力后恢复时间不同。两种膜均不影响有机物和总氮含量。此外，与适用于土壤的原核生物和真核生物不同的覆盖膜相关的环境和生态条件的改变，导致建立了新的优势微生物群落。有趣的是，微生物学分析强调了两种膜调节的不同行为，表明应力后恢复时间不同。两种膜均不影响有机物和总氮含量。此外，与适用于土壤的原核生物和真核生物不同的覆盖膜相关的环境和生态条件的改变，导致建立了新的优势微生物群落。有趣的是，微生物学分析强调了两种膜调节的不同行为，表明应力后恢复时间不同。

总体而言，结果突出了可生物降解膜的潜力，该膜似乎可以替代传统的聚乙烯塑料膜用于土壤日光化，具有巨大的环境效益。
