Interactive Effects of Tillage and Soil Depth on Soil Aggregate Stability in Relation to Soil Properties and Glomalin-Related Soil Proteins
Wang, C., Bi, X., Yang, Y., Wei, Y., Chu, M., Chen, W., Wang, J., & Zhang, J. (2026) · Biology · doi:10.3390/biology15161404
“Integrative approaches are increasingly needed to understand how agricultural management practices influence soil structural functions because aggregate stability results from the interaction of multiple physical, chemical, and biological processes [26,27].”

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.
