Elevation-induced changes in soil sulfur availability in tea plantations.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Chinese tea plantations, as the world's leading tea producers, face escalating challenges such as soil acidification and nutrient management. Investigating soil nutrient variations along elevation gradients is crucial. Despite extensive research on macronutrients like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, the role of available sulfur (AS), tightly interlinked with other nutrients, remains underexplored. This study focuses on available S dynamics in Huoshan County, Anhui Province, utilizing soil and litter samples collected from tea plantations at diverse elevations. The results revealed non-linear variations of soil AS with altitude and principal component (PC1) of other soil properties, significantly influencing tea plantation segregation by elevation. Available S exhibited heightened sensitivity to elevation changes compared to other nutrients, underscoring its pivotal role in tea plantation management and soil nutrient cycling. Furthermore, tea plantation dimensions notably decreased with increasing altitude. These findings emphasize the importance of available S in tea garden nutrient management and suggest its crucial consideration in future research and management endeavors. The non-linear correlation between available S and PC1 highlights the responsiveness of available S to elevation variations, emphasizing its significance in tea plantation soil dynamics. This study offers valuable insights into optimizing nutrient management strategies in tea plantations amidst elevation gradients.
