Exogenous resources drive convergent successional processes within soil microbial food web in two soil types.
Article in Environmental microbiome, 2026. 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
backgroundSoil microorganisms mediate critical ecosystem processes, including nutrient cycling and climate regulation. However, the extent to which their functional resilience and microbial food web dynamics respond uniformly to organic amendment across two land-use types remain poorly understood.
resultsIn this study, we conducted a 30-day microcosm experiment to investigate how exogenous resources addition restructures the assembly of primary microbial functional groups (bacteria, fungi, and protists) in urine-amended soils under contrasting land-use regimes: intensively managed maize fields and natural woodlands. Results showed that straw addition consistently reduced both OTU richness and Shannon diversity of bacteria (by 8% and15%, respectively), fungi (26% and 21%), and protists (21% and 29%) in both soil types, yet enhanced cross-domain microbial interactions. Co-occurrence network analysis revealed variation in trophic interaction based on network parameters: maize soils fostered bacteria-dominated networks, whereas fungal hubs dominated in woodland systems. Deterministic processes predominantly govern bacterial community assembly, contrasting with the stochastic dominance observed in fungal and protist communities. Notably, both land use regimes showed consistent decreases in α-diversity, increased network complexity, and shifts toward similar assembly processes despite initial differences in community structure.
conclusionOur findings demonstrate that organic amendments can override land-use legacies in shaping microbial community dynamics, highlighting the integrated impact of availability and biotic interactions in driving soil microbial food web dynamics.
