    Mulches Mulches can influence soil temperatures in two important ways. The first way is through absorbing or reflecting incoming light. Dark mulches, such as solid black or woven plastic, absorb solar radiation and can transfer this energy to warm the soil below. Lighter mulches, such as white plastic or straw and hay mulches, reflect more light and do not warm soil temperatures as much. Under warm summer conditions lighter mulches can be a benefit because they may keep soil temperatures lower and
