1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Grassland restoration efforts aim to reestablish vegetation cover and maintain ecosystem services. However, there is a lack of systematic evaluation of the effects of grassland restoration and management strategies on biodiversity, productivity and surface-atmosphere feedbacks affecting climate. Through a multiyear grassland restoration experiment in a tallgrass prairie site in Nebraska, USA, we investigated how different management practices affected biodiversity, productivity and surface-atmosphere feedbacks using a combination of in situ measurements and airborne hyperspectral and thermal remote sensing. Our findings indicated that management treatments affected vegetation diversity, productivity and energy balance. Higher diversity plots had higher plant growth, albedo, canopy water content and lower surface temperature, indicating clear effects of management treatments on grassland ecosystem processes influencing surface-atmosphere feedbacks of mass and energy. The coherent responses of multiple airborne remote sensing indices illustrate potential cobenefits of grassland restoration practices that enhance ecosystem productivity and biodiversity and mitigate climate change through surface-atmosphere feedbacks, offering a new strategy to address the challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change in grassland ecosystems.
