The pollution caused by plastic mulch film in agriculture has garnered significant attention. To safeguard the ecosystem from the detrimental effects of plastic pollution, it is imperative to investigate the use of biodegradable materials for manufacturing agricultural plastic film. Biochar has emerged as a feasible substance for the production of biodegradable mulch film (BDM), providing significant agricultural soil benefits. Although biochar has been widely applied in BDM manufacturing, the effect of biochar-filled plastic mulch film on soil carbon stock after its degradation has not been well documented. This study provides an overview of the current stage of biochar incorporated with BDM and summarizes its possible pathway on soil carbon stock contribution. The application of biochar-incorporated BDM can lead to substantial changes in soil microbial diversity, thereby influencing the emissions of greenhouse gases. These alterations may ultimately yield unforeseen repercussions on the carbon cycles. However, in light of the current knowledge vacuum and potential challenges, additional study is necessary to ascertain if biochar-incorporated BDM can effectively mitigate the issues of residual mulch film and microplastic contamination in agricultural land. Significant progress remains necessary before BDM may fully supplant traditional agricultural mulch film in agricultural production.
