Elevated temperature and enhanced UV-B radiation alter soil nitrogen supply and allocation within rice plants in high-altitude paddy fields.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
backgroundElevated temperature and enhanced ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation are two major global climate change issues of concern today, but their effects on high-elevation rice paddy ecosystems are of limited understanding. A Two-year field experiment was conducted in a paddy field at an altitude of 1600 m in the Yuanyang Terraces, southwest China, to investigate the individual and combined effects of elevated temperature (2℃) and enhanced UV-B radiation (5 kJ m⁻2) on soil nitrogen supply and nitrogen allocation in rice.
resultsElevated temperature inhibited rhizosphere urease activity during the jointing stage, leading to a 1.63–22.53% decrease in inorganic nitrogen concentration. In contrast, enhanced UV-B radiation increased rhizosphere protease activity in 2021, resulting in a 13.35–20.95% rise in NO₃⁻–N concentration. The combined treatment further reduced rhizosphere inorganic nitrogen concentration by 24.75–39.47% during the jointing and booting stages. Enhanced UV-B radiation reduced rice biomass by an average of 19.03%, while elevated temperature increased it by 52.47%, effectively mitigating the growth inhibition caused by UV-B. Both elevated temperature and enhanced UV-B radiation individually promoted nitrogen allocation to roots and stems, increasing their concentration and accumulation. However, the combined treatment weakened this effect. Elevated temperature also promoted nitrogen accumulation in grains, whereas UV-B radiation exhibited an inhibitory effect. The partial least squares path model indicated that elevated temperature primarily influenced nitrogen allocation by promoting rice growth, while UV-B radiation acted through regulating soil inorganic nitrogen concentration.
conclusionsAlthough elevated temperature did not enhance soil nitrogen availability, it effectively mitigated the inhibitory effects of UV-B radiation on rice growth by optimizing nitrogen allocation among roots, stems, and grains. This finding provides valuable insight into crop response mechanisms under future climate change and is crucial for predicting the stability and productivity of vulnerable agroecosystems.
