Divergent microbial strategies under saline-alkali stress: a comparative study of bacterial and fungal communities in four agro-pastoral habitats.

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: Microorganisms regulate nutrient cycling and ecosystem stability in saline-alkali ecosystems. However, their adaptation mechanisms and metabolic functions to saline-alkali stress in agro-pastoral ecotones remain unclear. Methods: We characterized bacterial and fungal communities in four typical saline-alkali habitats in the agro-pastoral ecotone of the Loess Plateau [saline-alkali flat (SAF), natural grassland, maize cropland, and shrubland] via Illumina MiSeq sequencing. We analyzed community compositions, α-diversity, co-occurrence network characteristics, and functional group differences, using Mantel tests, redundancy analysis (RDA), and partial least squares path to examine environmental drivers of microbial structure and function. Results: Saline-alkali stress significantly altered soil physicochemical properties ( Conclusion: We identified adaptive strategies and functional differentiation of bacterial and fungal communities under saline-alkali stress. These findings provide important insights for the sustainable management and ecological restoration of saline-alkali lands in agro-pastoral ecotones.
