The application of mulch films for preserving soil moisture and preventing weed growth has been a part agricultural practice decades. Different materials have used as films, but polyethylene plastic considered most effective due to its excellent mechanical strength, low cost ability act barrier sunlight water. However, use carries risk pollution health hazards, hence new laws passed replace it completely with other over the next few years. Research find out about biodegradable polymers this purpose gained impetus in past years, driven by regulations United Nations Organization’s Sustainable Development Goals. primary requisite these is biodegradability under natural climatic conditions without production any toxic residual compounds. Therefore, developed from fossil fuels, microorganisms, animals plants are viable options using mulching material. solution not simple since each polymer different properties compromise be made terms film. This review discusses history materials, gradual evolution choice process biodegradation regarding material used, types that can explored potential future prospects area.

Dryland agriculture requires the efficient utilization of water resources and implementation water-conserving technologies. Mulching is a conservation practice used in arid land areas to preserve soil moisture, control temperature, minimize evaporation rates. Organic mulching minimizes deterioration, enhances organic matter, boosts soil’s ability retain water. can help keep moisture root zone, allowing plants receive for extended periods. with composted yard waste led higher nutrient levels, including phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), matter when compared uncovered soil. Under plastic mulch, soluble nutrients such as nitrate (NO 3 − ), ammonium (NH 4 + (Ca 2+ magnesium (Mg (K fulvic acid are released decomposes, enhancing availability. has several advantages dryland agriculture, reducing loss, erosion, weed growth, droplet kinetic energy, competition nearby fields. This review article aimed demonstrate effectiveness ground conservation. particularly important regions where agricultural sustainability at risk due drought, heat stress, inefficient use limited during cropping season. Ground essential minimizing surface hence decreasing loss. research thoroughly examines synthetic mulches crop production, well their preservation resources.

The increase of micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) in aquatic environments has become a significant concern due to their potential toxicological effects on ecosystems, food web dynamics, human health. These plastic particles emerge from range sources, such as the breakdown larger waste, consumer products, industrial outputs. This review provides detailed report transmission dangers MNPs environmental behavior, interactions within webs, emphasizing toxic impact marine life. It explores relationship between particle size toxicity, distribution different tissues, process trophic transfer through web. MNPs, once consumed, can be found various organs, including digestive system, gills, liver. Their consumption by lower level organisms facilitates progression up chain, potentially leading bioaccumulation biomagnification, thereby posing substantial risks health, reproduction, behavior species. work also how persistence bioaccumulation, pose biodiversity disrupt relationships. addresses implications for particularly contaminated seafood, highlighting direct indirect pathways which humans are exposed these pollutants. Furthermore, highlights recommendations future research directions, integration ecological, toxicological, health studies inform risk assessments develop mitigation strategies address global challenge pollution environments.

Abstract This Assessment Update by the Environmental Effects Panel (EEAP) of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) considers interactive effects solar UV radiation, global warming, and other weathering factors on plastics. The illustrates significance radiation in decreasing durability plastic materials, degradation debris, formation micro- nanoplastic particles accompanying leaching potential toxic compounds. Micro- nanoplastics have been found all ecosystems, atmosphere, humans. While biological risks are not yet well-established, widespread increasing occurrence pollution is reason for continuing research monitoring. Plastic debris persists after its intended life soils, water bodies atmosphere as well living organisms. To counteract accumulation plastics environment, lifetime novel or alternatives should better match functional products, with eventual breakdown releasing harmless substances to environment.
