Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Low ozone concentrations significantly improved lettuce yield, quality and water-fertilizer use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Ozone at 4 mg L –1 had inhibitory effects.
- Intervention effect Ozone reduced bacterial richness and diversity, most strongly at mid-growth.
- Observation Proteobacteria dominated nutrient-solution microbial communities.
- Association Pseudomonas abundance decreased as ozone concentration increased.
- Observation Functional predictions suggested shifts in chemoheterotrophic groups.
- Observation Functional predictions suggested shifts in nitrogen-cycling-related taxa.
- Association Flavihumibacter was correlated with lettuce yield and quality in a random forest model.
- Association Runella was correlated with lettuce yield and quality in a random forest model.
- Association Cytophaga was correlated with lettuce yield and quality in a random forest model.
- Mechanism Path modeling suggested ozone-driven microbial restructuring influenced lettuce growth variation.
