Bio-based mulching films are gaining increasing attention in contemporary agriculture as feasible and environmentally friendly alternatives to polyethylene films whose use causes the undesirable release of plastic debris into the environment, thus contributing to pollution and negatively affecting soil quality. Being a source of readily available C, following soil incorporation bio-based mulches can stimulate the biological activity and benefit soil fertility and health. This work aims to evaluate short-term impacts of an innovative N- and P-enriched carboxymethylcellulose, sodium alginate and chitosan-based biodegradable mulch film on physical (aggregate stability index), chemical (pH, electrical conductivity, total organic C, total N, P-Olsen, water soluble anions) and enzymatic soil activities using soil microcosms added or not with an epigeic earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris L.) over a 30-d incubation period. Mater-Bi was used as reference. Analysis of earthworm casts, tissues, digestive enzymes and oxidative stress biomarkers was also included since earthworms can play a role both as indicators of pollution and as drivers of bio-based mulch degradation with their borrowing lifestyle and release of hydrolytic enzymes. The C/ N ratio of incorporated mulches differently primed C mineralization.
