Summary

This dataset contains a range of plant, soil, plastic and environmental measurements, which was collated over a 4-year period following a repeated field experiment. The data is to investigate the effect of biodegradable and conventional plastic mulch film application on crop (maize) and soil properties. The remaining mulch film on the soil surface of each plot was incorporated into the soil after each growing season to simulate realistic plastic input. The details can be found in the lineage field and the supporting document. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/cf557a25-78b4-49c7-9993-b32a7ed814b5
