Unearthing Forest History: Integrating Soil Charcoal Macrofossils and Pollen Reveals Delayed Forest Responses to Holocene Climatic Transitions in Boreal-Temperate Ecotone.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Studying historical dynamics and compositional changes of ecotones is essential for improving predictions of their responses to anthropogenic global change. However, the small size and geographic isolation of marginal ecotonal stands require retrospective analyses at the local scale. Here, we combine soil macrofossil charcoal analysis (SMCA), a lake-sediment pollen record, and contemporary forest inventories to reconstruct past dynamics and assess contemporary trajectories of forest stands located at the northern boundary of the boreal-temperate ecotone (BTE) in the Rimouski hinterland (Lower St. Lawrence region, Canada). Radiocarbon-dated soil charcoal particles and regional pollen data reveal a delayed local establishment of thermophilous species, such as white pine (
