The farmland residual film pollution caused by traditional PE film has an adverse impact on crops and the environment. Polypropylene carbonate (PPC) film is a fully biodegradable film that can alleviate “white pollution”. In this study, the soil physicochemical properties and the composition and function of the soil community of FM (PPC film mulching) and CK (no film) treatments were determined to explore the effect of PPC film mulching on soil and the soil microbial community. Furthermore, the microorganisms at different time periods during the degradation of PPC mulch film were also analyzed. The results showed that film mulching increased soil pH but decreased the contents of EC and SOC, and there was no significant difference in the contents of AP and AK. The relative abundance of the phyla <i>Acidobacteria</i> was increased with film mulching, and the relative abundance of the genera <i>MB_A2_108</i> also increased in the film mulched soil. Among the soil physicochemical properties, pH and SOC were the most important factors leading to changes in the composition of the bacterial and fungal communities. PPC film mulching had no significant effect on soil microbial community abundance and diversity. In addition, <i>Pseudomonas</i>, <i>Flavobacterium</i>, and <i>Rhizobacter</i> were dominant in the degradation of PPC film. Our research results provide a scientific theoretical basis for soil safety and the large-scale use of PPC biodegradable mulching films and a research foundation for the degradation of PPC plastics.
