Soil physicochemical status under Eucalyptus globulus plantations in the Northwestern highlands of Ethiopia.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In the highlands of Ethiopia, croplands and grazing lands have been converted into Eucalyptus globulus (E. globulus) plantations to meet demand for construction materials, fuelwood and higher income sources. However, the impact of these plantations on soil physicochemical properties remains debated among researchers. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the status of soil physicochemical properties under the E. globulus plantations in the northwestern highlands of Ethiopia. A total of 30 composite soil samples were collected from two soil depths (0-20 and 20-40 cm) across three (E. globulus plantation, cropland and grazing land) land use types with five replications each. Changes in soil properties under different land uses and soil depths were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance in SAS 9.4 software. Soil properties such as moisture content, organic matter and total nitrogen were significantly higher (≤ 0.05) in E. globulus plantations compared to cropland and grazing land. While low content of clay, pH, available phosphorus, exchangeable bases (Ca, Mg, K, and Na) and cation exchange capacity were recorded under E. globulus plantations than cropland. Therefore, the findings of this study would have an invaluable role in providing information for policy-makers on sustainable land use management, particularly to reduce the expansion of E. globulus plantations on fertile soils and mitigating the acidity of soil in the study area.
