Soil nutrients, enzyme activities, and bacterial communities in varied plant communities in karst rocky desertification regions in Wushan County, Southwest China.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Vegetation restoration has become a common practice in karst rocky desertification (KRD) areas of southwestern China. The bacteria, which have made a connection between soil and plants, have been an important role in regulating the succession and restoration of karst vegetation. However, it is still unclear how soil bacterial communities and soil properties respond to natural vegetation restoration processes in karst areas. To address this gap, we investigated the soil nutrients, enzyme activity, and soil bacterial community among various plant communities, including farmland (FL), land with herbs only (SSI), herb-and-shrub land (SSII), woody thickets (SSIII), coniferous forest (SSIV), coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest (SSV), and evergreen broad-leaved forest (SSVI). Our results found that SSII had the highest levels of soil organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, available nitrogen, sucrase, and β-glucosidase among all the plant communities. These results indicated that herb-and-shrub land have contributed to the rapid restoration of vegetation in KRD regions. FL exhibited the lowest levels of soil nutrients and enzyme activities, while showing the highest bacterial richness and diversity among all the plant communities. This suggested that appropriate human intervention can increase bacterial diversity and richness in the area. The predominant bacterial phylum also varied among the different plant communities, with
