Increased stability of a subtropic bamboo forest soil bacterial communities through integration of water and fertilizer management compared to conventional management.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundConventional management (CM), substantial fertilization and flooding irrigation, has led to soil acidification, the decrease in soil bacterial diversity in bamboo forests. Integration of water and fertilizer management (IWF) can effectively improve the efficiency of water and fertilizer use, but its effect on soil environment, especially on microbial community, is still unclear.
methodsHere, we used next-generation high-throughput sequencing to compare soil properties and bacterial communities through different fertilization and irrigation methods under IWF and CM.
resultsCompared to the control group, CM significantly reduced soil pH and bacterial diversity, while IWF improved soil nutrition status, increased soil bacterial diversity and soil pH to a level similar to the control group. Compared with CM, IWF also improved the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria and copiotrophic bacteria community in the soil, and the bacterial community in IWF was similar to CK. The structure of the bacterial community was also significantly correlated with soil organic matter, total nitrogen, hydrolyzable nitrogen, and available potassium, while soil bacterial diversity was mainly associated with soil hydrolyzable nitrogen.
conclusionsIWF can play an important role in preventing soil acidification, the loss of soil bacterial diversity, and improving the structure of the bacterial community under specific conditions.
