Interaction between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and native soil microbiome on early stage restoration of a coal-mine soil.

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
The recovery of the soil ecosystem after severe disturbances, such as coal-mining activities, depends on both abiotic and biotic improvements. This study assessed the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal consortia on microbial community dynamics across two stages of soil recovery - 2 years (2Y) and 15 years (15Y) post-disturbance - using a secondary succession forest (SSR) as a reference. We analyzed bacterial community composition via 16 S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and evaluated key soil quality indicators. While inoculation with AM fungal consortia had minimal effects on most soil parameters, significant differences were observed between recovery stages. The 15Y recovery site exhibited improved soil structure, microbial activity, and aggregate stability compared to the 2Y site, highlighting the importance of long-term restoration. However, potential overlap in ecological roles among native microorganisms likely mitigates the impact of AMF inoculation. These findings suggest that AM fungal consortia alone may not drive immediate improvements in soil quality but can contribute to microbial interactions and recovery processes over time. This study highlights the complexity of soil restoration and emphasizes the need for strategies that integrate plant cover with microbial community development to enhance long-term ecosystem stability. Further research should explore the specific roles of AM fungi and native soil microbes in promoting soil structure and accelerating recovery.
