Through soil incubation experiments, the effects of aged PBAT + PLA (polybutylene adipate terephthalate + polylactic acid) film fragments were analyzed. Surface characteristics and chemical structures of the films changed significantly after one (T2) and two years (T1) of aging compared to new films (T3). Both new and aged fragments reduced soil pH, altered enzyme activities, and influenced dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluorescence. Alkaline phosphatase activity declined by 33.2%, 23.8%, and 11.6% for T1, T2, and T3, respectively, while urease and sucrase activities increased in a time-dependent manner. The degree of soil humification rose by 66.4%, 60.4%, 49.3%, and 88.6% for T1, T2, T3, and T4, respectively, compared to the control (CK). Aged films exhibited stronger DOM fluorescence intensity than new films. Tessier extraction analysis revealed a decrease in exchangeable Cd by 22.9%, 13.1%, and 10.2% for T1, T2, and T3, respectively, while organically bound Cu increased. Correlation analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between soil humification and heavy metal bioavailability. These findings provide insight into the ecological effects of biodegradable agricultural films, offering a theoretical foundation for assessing their environmental risks and safety.
