近期，由丁凡领衔，英国Bangor University的Davey Jones和Dave Chadwick教授，美国华盛顿州立大学的Markus Flury教授，西北农林科技大学的蒋锐副教授，韩国国立庆尚大学的Pil Joo Kim教授，一起在Science of the Total Environment（影响因子：6.551）上成功申请了专刊（special issue）：Environmental impacts of agricultural plastic film mulching: Fate, consequences, and solutions”，专刊投稿时间预计在2021年1月1日~2021年10月30日。专刊的主题包括：
- Macro-, micro-, and nano- scale plastic residue accumulation in the soil profile across a diverse range of plastic film mulching systems;
- Effect of plastic film mulching on water use efficiency, soil nutrient cycling, C storage, and greenhouse gas emissions;
- Effect of plastic film mulching on the diversity and function of soil organisms (e.g., earthworms, nematodes, bacteria, and fungi);
- Impacts of plastic residue accumulation on crop growth and the uptake of plastics by crop plants and their potential to enter the food chain;
- Fate and transport of plastic residues in mulched agro-ecosystems and off-site impacts to air, rivers and other surrounding environments.
- The degradation of conventional and biodegradable plastic mulch films and subsequent impacts on the environment.
