Aims Plastic film mulch (PFM) was an important agricultural measure to promote crop production. It is important to reveal the patterns of root-associated microbiomes under PFM to enhance the basic knowledge in the agroecosystem. Methods The microbial composition, assembly, and co-occurrence in four...
