Field experiments have shown that manure affects microbial community composition, soil enzyme activity, and catabolic substrate utilization profile more than ammonium nitrate or no fertilizer application.
“In addition, field experiments have shown that manure affects microbial community composition (Peacock et al., 2001) soil enzyme activity (Liu et al., 2010) and catabolic substrate utilization profile (Sradnick et al., 2013) more than ammonium nitrate or no fertilizer application.”

Field experiments showed higher soil microbial biomass after application of organic manure than after application of non-organic fertilizers or no fertilizer application.
“Field experiments showed a higher soil microbial biomass after application of organic manure than after application of non-organic fertilizers or no fertilizer application (Peacock et al., 2001;Chu et al., 2007;Liu et al., 2010).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
