Exploring Microbial Diversity--A Vast Below
Abstract
In their Perspective, Curtis and Sloan discuss how there is more to the findings of the Gans et al. paper (in the same issue) than the headline finding of 10different bacteria in soil. The estimation of a species abundance curve for a sample of soil is of significance in its own right, forming a mathematical map for the exploration of the microbial diversity of soil.

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.
