Yingji Pan et al. evaluated the effects of 25 wetland plant species traits on #denitrification based on data from meta-analyses on denitrification, global wetland plant trait databases and #structuralequationmodelling.

A non-exhaustive conceptual framework illustrating the effects of various wetland plant traits on denitrification processes. Wetland plant traits related to nitrogen supply are labelled in green, denitrification process-related intermediates are labelled in yellow, and oxygen concentration-related wetland plant traits are labelled in blue. These various mechanisms may lead to non-linear effects between a specific trait and denitrification rate (a). Ranking of the enhancement of denitrification by wetland plant species (b). The enhancement of denitrification by wetland plants was calculated based on the data from Alldred and Baines (2016), and details can be found in the Methods.

Figure 2 in Chen et al. (2025): "Co-occurrence networks of relationships among soil nematode genera under (a and b) control and irrigation treatment (i.e., across degradation levels and nitrogen fertilization treatments, n = 30), and (c and d) control and nitrogen fertilization (i.e., across degradation levels and irrigation treatments, n = 30), and (e–g) in the lightly degraded, moderately degraded and severely degraded grasslands (i.e., across irrigation treatments and nitrogen fertilization treatments, n = 20). Nodes represent different nematode genera, and red, yellow, green and blue nodes represent bacterivores, fungivores, plant parasites and omnivores-predators, respectively. Red lines represent positive correlations between genera, while blue lines represent the negative correlations, and the thickness of the connecting line represents the strength of the correlation effect. Node size is positively correlated with node degree."

Figure 1 in Merloti et al. (2025): "Ecological network analysis based on soil components. (A) shows the network from chronosequences of assisted restored forests on former pasture lands, (B) active restored forests on former sugarcane, and (C) late-stage restored forests compared to degraded and reference forests. In each network, the nodes represent the soil components, while blue edges indicate positive correlations and red edges indicate negative correlations."
