Marginal tests identified Lineage (N versus S) as the primary driver of variation ( p = 0.016), while Region ( p = 0.046) showed a borderline significant effect, and Host ( p = 0.178) did not reach statistical significance.

On the whole, Prevotella showed a decreasing trend ( P = 0.18), Neisseria showed an increasing trend ( P = 0.34), Capnocytophaga decreased at first and then increased, while Leptotrichia showed little change.

Although an increasing trend was observed in the carbohydrate content of EPS with time in both treatments, these trends were similar between oil treatment and control ( p = 0.189) ( Supplementary Figure 4A ).

Ratios of total carotenoids:total Chl a were higher at pH 9.2 but fell short of significance ( p = 0.2207) ( Supplementary Figure 8 ).

Although hardness also exhibited a decreasing trend, this change was not statistically significant ( p = 0.223).

In contrast, the abundance of Actinobacteria showed a decreasing trend on day 1, with the abundance of the treatment group (0.256 ± 0.005) lower than that of the control group (0.381 ± 0.202) ( p = 0.344).

Soil enzymatic activities also showed a trend of decrease during the consecutive ratooning; however, the matrices of dissimilarity (NMDS) were statistically not significant ( R = 0.15, P = 0.482) ( Figure 3B ).

While the Kaplan–Meier survival analysis showed a trend toward poorer overall survival in F. nucleatum -high patients, the difference was not statistically significant ( p = 0.5).

In the YMA group, Zn exhibited a positive trend with neonatal body weight ( p = 0.50), while Ca showed a robust positive correlation with neonatal body length ( p = 0.49).

At the individual compound level, increases remained non-significant or at the limit of significance (serine: p = 0.602; PCA: p = 0.100; urocanic acid: p = 0.116).

Data from the ECDC latest surveillance report ( European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, 2022 ) showed indeed an increase in the population weighted mean MDR percentage over the period 2018–2022 and an increasing trend in infections caused by CRPA and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella and Acinetobacter spp.

While body weights showed a decreasing trend from 5 dpi ( Figure 3D ).

In general, the CP content in silage shows a decreasing trend as the anaerobic fermentation process advances, and the biological activity of adherent microorganisms affects the degree of degradation of CP content after the addition of exogenous additives ( He et al., 2018 ).

The effect of key gene abundance on nitrogen (−0.898, p < 0.001) and phosphorus (−0.242, p < 0.001) concentration showed a highly significant negative trend.

Nonetheless, the removal rates of these genes exhibited a decreasing trend across successive cycles.

However, a negative trend is visible in the S.

However, CTS, NT, and NTS showed a trend of increased ECe and decreased pH compared with CT.

Generally, the content profiles of P fractions indicated that each P form had a decreasing trend toward deep sediments ( Supplementary Figure S1 ).

Moreover, during the preparation process, the variation in the Ag metal content affected the photocatalytic performance of Ag-Bi 3 O 4 Cl, which showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing with increasing Ag metal content.

fruticosa had a significant direct effect on understory plant community composition and a marginally significant direct effect on soil fungal community composition, and an indirectly effect on soil bacterial community composition, there was no significant correlation between nematode and understory plant and soil microbial community composition ( Figure 3D ).

An increasing trend in EV prevalence in AGE patients was observed across different Asian countries before the COVID-19 outbreak, beginning at the end of 2019.

The exceptions, which were barely statistically significant, were (i) a shorter recurrence interval for isoclonal group A isolates (10 pairs: median interval, 45 days) than for isoclonal group C isolates (four pairs: median interval, 90.5 days) ( p = 0.02), and for fluoroquinolone-resistant isoclonal isolates (59 pairs: median interval, 56 days) than for fluoroquinolone-susceptible isoclonal isolates (60 pairs: median interval, 65 days) ( p = 0.04).

During ripening, it was observed that the Listeria population had a decreasing trend at all samples (the p -values for the 1st, 5th, 36th, 50th, and 60th days were found to be less than 0.05, however, for the 8th, 15th, and 22nd days after production, the p-values were p ≥ 0.05), but this decrease was more intense at Feta trial 12 inoculated with both acid and non-acid adapted Listeria strains at both batches ( Table 2 ).

The results were shown in Figure 3 , where the recovery rate appeared an increasing trend as the temperature increased from 5°C to 35°C.

3.7 Correlation analysis of soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling functional genes with environmental factors and functional microorganisms Heat map analysis of soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling genes correlated with soil physicochemical properties and enzyme activities ( Figure 9 ), korA/B , which is associated with carbon fixation, was positively correlated with S-β-GC, and TC and SOM had high concordance, and negatively correlated with most of the carbon cycling genes ( Figure 9A ); GDH2 , norB were highly significant negatively correlated with TC, SOM, AN and S-LAP, glnA, nirB and gltB were all significantly negatively correlated with SOM, where gltB and AN were highly significantly negatively correlated, and nirA was the opposite, but TN showed a weak correlation with the nitrogen cycle; for the soil phosphoru
