Effects of straw return combined with different amendments on soil enzyme activities and bacterial community structure in acidic purple soil.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 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
Soil microorganisms are fundamental drivers of nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning in agricultural soils, but their responses to management practices in acidic agroecosystems remain insufficiently understood. Acidification-induced changes in soil environmental conditions can constrain bacterial activity and disrupt carbon and nutrient transformation processes. This study investigated how straw return combined with different amendments affects soil enzyme activities and bacterial community structure in acidic purple soil under a 2-year rice-rapeseed rotation system. Six management treatments, including control (CK), conventional fertilization (F), straw return (FT), and straw return combined with calcium-magnesium phosphate fertilizer (FGT), limestone powder (FST), or biochar (FBT), were established to evaluate their effects on soil properties, enzyme activities, and bacterial communities. The results showed that amendment treatments were associated with contrasting changes in soil biochemical properties and bacterial community characteristics. FST treatment effectively alleviated soil acidity and enhanced urease (S-UE) and peroxidase (S-POD) activities, whereas FBT treatment promoted soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation and stimulated carbon-related enzyme activities. Amendment treatments were associated with variation in bacterial community composition, with treatment-specific differences in dominant bacterial taxa and their associations with soil environmental conditions. Soil pH, SOC, and enzyme activities were important environmental factors associated with bacterial community differentiation. These findings demonstrate that straw return combined with amendments regulates nutrient cycling through amendment-specific bacterial pathways, highlighting the importance of bacterial processes in restoring the health of acidic purple soils and improving the sustainability of their agricultural ecosystems in the Sichuan Basin.
