Plastic is an essential component of agriculture globally, becoming a concerning form of pollution. Biodegradable alternatives are gaining attention as a potential replacement for commonly used, non-degradable plastics, but there is little known about the impacts of biodegradable plastics as they age and potential leachates are released. In this study, different types (conventional: polyethylene and polypropylene and biodegrad...

Soil C sequestration may mitigate rising levels of atmospheric CO 2. However, it has yet to be determined whether net soil C sequestration occurs in N‐rich grasslands exposed to long‐term elevated CO 2 . This study examined whether N‐fertilized grasslands exposed to elevated CO 2 sequestered additional C. For 10 years, Lolium perenne , Trifolium repens , and the mixture of L . perenne/T. repens grasslands were exposed to ambie...
