Experimental Evidence of High-Dimensional Elementome Shifts Due to Coexistence and Its Effects on Growth Rates.
Article in Ecology letters, 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
Elementomes (i.e., the concentration of bioelements of an organism) have been shown to be related to organism traits and function, and to change across space and time mostly due to changes in environmental conditions, but also due to coexistence amongst species. While there is vast observational evidence for that, experimental evidence remains elusive. Here we set up a diversity experiment, based on 20 aquatic microcosms where we grew one, two, three or four moss species together, to test whether coexistence amongst species is an important driver of high-dimensional elementome shifts in mixed communities. Our results provide experimental evidence showing that species tend to shift their elemental composition in response to coexistence, and that the magnitude of this shift increases with the elemental diversity of the community. Overall, our results provide the first experimental evidence of high-dimensional shifts in elementomes due to coexistence, supporting the biogeochemical niche hypothesis.
