Assessment

Why?

Strongest counted support: The study reports greater bacterial turnover and seasonal divergence in forest gaps than in closed-canopy soils. weight 2.000000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The passage directly states that bacterial temporal turnover and seasonal community divergence were greater in forest gaps than in closed-canopy soils.

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Unresolved.

  The excerpt states both comparative bacterial patterns and the gap versus closed-canopy context.

Evidence against

None.

Qualifications

• The comparison covers bacterial communities across gap, edge, and adjacent canopy habitats in one subtropical karst forest over four seasons.

• Only five naturally formed gaps were studied, one seasonal sample per season, limiting causal and cross-forest generalization.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
