Effects of stand age and soil microbial communities on soil respiration throughout the growth cycle of poplar plantations in northeastern China.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction: Many studies have identified stand age and soil microbial communities as key factors influencing soil respiration (Rs). However, the effects of stand age on Rs and soil microbial communities throughout the growth cycle of poplar ( Methods: In this study, we adopted a spatial approach instead of a temporal one to investigate Rs and soil microbial communities in poplar plantations of 15 different ages (1-15 years old). Results: The results showed that Rs exhibited clear seasonal dynamics, with the highest rates observed in the first year of stand age (1-year-old). As stand age increased, Rs showed a significant decreasing trend. We further identified r-selected microbial communities (copiotrophic species) as key biological factors influencing the decline in Rs with increasing stand age. Other abiotic factors, such as soil temperature (ST), pH, soil organic carbon (SOC), nitrate nitrogen (NO Conclusion: This study provides crucial empirical evidence on how stand age affects Rs, highlighting the connection between microbial community assemblages, their trophic strategies, and Rs over the growth cycle of poplar plantations.
