Organic fertilizers increase microbial community diversity and stability slowing down the transformation process of nutrient cycling.
Article in Environmental microbiome, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundSoil microbes play a central role in nutrient recycling in soils: however, the genetic mechanisms governing their responses to long-term fertilization remain poorly understood. While the agronomic benefits of long-term fertilization are well-documented, the genetic mechanisms and ecological processes underlying microbial community responses to different fertilization regimes remain poorly understood, particularly in unique soil systems such as black soils (Mollisols), which are critical for global food security. A deeper insight into how organic and inorganic fertilizers influence microbial assembly, functional potential, and community stability is essential for developing sustainable soil management practices.
resultsThis study deciphers microbial assembly mechanisms, functional gene dynamics, and community restructuring in black soils subjected to 44 years of chemical fertilizer (CF), manure amendment (M), and integrated chemical fertilizer with manure (CFM) treatments. Results revealed that CF significantly enhances functional gene abundance related to carbon (C) degradation (e.g., starch, cellulose, chitin and lignin) and nitrification, accelerating the conversion of recalcitrant C to labile C pools and ammonium to nitrate. Conversely, M and CFM treatments promote microbial diversity and stability while decelerating nutrient transformation processes. In addition, microbial assembly mechanisms shift from stochastic to deterministic processes with long-term fertilizer application in CF. The structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that soil chemical properties shape both the diversity and composition of taxonomic and functional gene communities which subsequently regulate microbial -mediated nutrient cycling processes and crop yield.
conclusionsOur findings highlight the trade-offs between microbial functional potential and community stability under contrasting fertilization strategies, emphasizing the need to integrate microbial metrics into sustainable land management frameworks.
