A Soil Bulk Density Metric to Improve Rapid Assessment of Wetland Condition.

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
Rapid wetland assessments are designed to require minimal field effort (e.g. half-day site visit), but still provide critical information on wetland ecological condition and functioning. Many wetland functions occur within or are supported by the soil, yet soil condition is seldom-or only minimally-included in most state rapid assessments. We focus on the Ohio Rapid Assessment Method for wetlands (ORAM) and evaluate soil bulk density as an indicator of wetland soil condition that can be incorporated into rapid wetland assessments. Soil bulk density ([Formula: see text]) is relatively easy to measure and requires only basic instrumentation. It also correlates well with more intensive metrics of soil condition (e.g. carbon content, aggregation). We sampled 45 wetlands in west-central Ohio, that exhibited a range of wetland type and ecological condition. From each wetland, we collected five soil cores (to 15-cm depth) and then analyzed the soil samples for [Formula: see text], carbon content, and water-stable aggregates. These three measurements were used to develop a four-bin [Formula: see text] metric of soil condition. Incorporating this metric into the current ORAM improved relationships with [Formula: see text] ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13157-026-02044-9.
