Depth-dependent effects of crop rotation and monoculture on dissolved organic matter quantity and quality.

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: Soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) regulates nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration, yet how cropping systems (rotation vs. monoculture) shape the vertical distribution and molecular traits of DOM remains unclear. Methods: We leveraged a long-term experiment (est. 1994) at the IUNG-PIB Agricultural Experimental Station, Osiny, eastern Poland, comparing a three-year rotation (winter oilseed rapewinter wheatspring barley) with continuous winter wheat. Soils were sampled at 030, 3060, and 6090 cm. Cold-waterextractable DOM was quantified as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nitrogen (DON), and phosphorus (DOP). UVVis metrics (SUVA280, E4/E6) characterized molecular features, and environmental drivers were identified via variable-importance analysis. Results and discussion: DOM concentrations declined with depth (P < 0.001). A management effect emerged only in the subsoil: DOC at 6090 cm was higher under monoculture than rotation (P < 0.05), indicating detectable but secondary cropping-system influences relative to depth controls. With depth, SUVA280 increased and E4/E6 decreased consistently across systems, implying greater molecular weight and humification; thus, soil depth is the primary regulator of DOM molecular structure. Key drivers of DOM variability included soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, humus, available phosphorus, and depth. DOC variation was most associated with total nitrogen (14.92% contribution), total carbon (11.68%), and DOP (9.67%). DON was driven by DOC (17.64%), depth (16.00%), and available phosphorus (15.59%). DOP was shaped by humus (15.56%), total phosphorus (15.45%), and available phosphorus (15.43%). Collectively, these findings reveal pronounced depth-dependent differentiation of DOM quantity and traits in agricultural soils, with subsoil responses to management offering leverage points to optimize nutrient cycling and enhance long-term carbon storage.
