Ecosystem state and soil depth determine the microbial community response to warming in coastal marsh soils.

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
Coastal marshes are important carbon sinks because soil microbial activity is often low under flooded, oxygen-deficient conditions. Global warming may alter soil microbial communities in these ecosystems and thereby affect their carbon balance, yet experimental evidence remains limited. We investigated microbial community responses to experimental warming in coastal marsh soils from two Baltic sites differing in ecosystem age and plant community composition. Marsh sods were exposed to active aboveground and soil warming in a mesocosm facility for two consecutive growing seasons. After 1.5 years, microbial community composition shifted significantly under warming, with pronounced changes in the older ecosystem but little response in the younger one. Carbon-acquiring exo-enzyme activity also showed site-specific warming effects. Our findings suggest that warming responses of soil microbial communities are not universal but depend on local factors such as successional stage, vegetation, and soil resource availability.
