Claim

Gap soils had more densely connected but topologically simplified microbial co-occurrence networks with fewer keystone taxa, and predicted functional potential was associated with both keystone structure and whole-community structure rather than keystone structure alone.

Score: 0.8808 under ledger-default@0.3.0 at snapshot 27745

Main unresolved issue: 3 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:3c365c04-7a43-862a-b709-d3f45fbc7ff6

Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.Every quoted passage was confirmed on the page when Galedra fetched it.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The study reports denser but simplified gap-soil networks with fewer keystone taxa and altered associations between functional potential and community structure. weight 2.000000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The passage directly reports denser yet simplified gap-soil networks with fewer keystone taxa and functional potential linked to both keystone and whole-community structure.

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.

How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + 2.000000 (the counted weights) = 2.000000 → probability 0.8808

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.8022 to 0.9309, a spread of 0.1287.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

Every comparative network and functional-association element in the claim appears explicitly.

Evidence against

None.

Qualifications

The comparison covers five natural gaps in one subtropical karst forest, 60 composite samples across four seasons; networks are statistical and functions are PICRUSt2 predictions.

From Forest gaps amplify seasonal turnover and decouple microbial stability from functional potential in a karst forest Read 2026-09-29 Relevance DIRECT Steps 0 Counted

The findings are habitat associations from a one-forest, five-gap seasonal design; network topology and predicted functions do not establish biological interactions or measured processes.

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.
