Evidence on fertility is mixed. Experiments report changes to soil structure, water holding capacity and microbial activity . and effects on plant growth differed by plastic type: fibres and biodegradable PLA reduced seed germination .

How it works
Chat answers jump to the exact passage in the PDF
Read
Open any paper in the Reader and ask it questions. Each answer links to the page and passage it came from.
Anchor check: 2 sentences need a source
Write
Draft in the Writer. Anchor check flags sentences with no source or a weak one, and builds the bibliography as you go.
Every sentence shows you where it came from
Passage popoverHover or tap a chip to see the paper, the exact quote and where it came from.
Evidence meterFor yes or no questions, see how many papers point each way, and open each group.
Weak anchorsWhen a source only partly supports a sentence, the chip turns amber and dashed.

Does Anchorcite write my thesis for me?
No. It helps you find and read sources, and it checks that what you write is supported by them. You do the thinking and the writing. We refuse to build full-thesis generation.
Where do the papers come from?
Search runs on OpenAlex, which indexes over 200 million scholarly works. References are checked against Crossref, and retractions against Retraction Watch data published through Crossref.
What does "anchored" mean?
Every sentence in an answer links to the exact passage in a real paper that supports it. You can open the passage and check it yourself.
What happens when a source only partly supports a sentence?
The anchor chip turns amber with a dashed outline and tells you which part is unsupported.
Can I use it with Zotero?
Yes. Scholar and above include two-way Zotero sync. Free accounts can import BibTeX and RIS files.
Is the free plan really free forever?
Yes. It includes 3 projects, unlimited search, 20 anchored answers a month and every free tool.
Why is the price different in my country?
Prices adjust to purchasing power at checkout, so a student in Lagos or Lima pays a fair local price.
Will my university know I used AI?
Only if you tell them. The AI-use log lets you export an honest disclosure when your course asks for one.
