Synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) represent a frontier in microbiome engineering, theoretically offering superior stability over single\u2010strain inoculants through functional redundancy. However, the design rules governing their efficacy \u2013 specifically the trade\u2010off between community complexity and phenotypic output \u2013 remain empirically unresolved. This meta\u2010analysis evaluated how synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) affect plant growth and stress\u2010related physiological responses under different stress conditions and examined whether their efficacy was associated with community complexity or specific microbial functional traits. Data from 34 studies (433 independent comparisons) were collected. Then, the natural log response ratios (lnRR) of plant morphological and physiological traits were calculated. A random\u2010effects model was used to estimate global effect sizes and quantify between\u2010study heterogeneity. Plant performance was significantly enhanced following SynComs inoculation, evidenced by a 111.93% increase in total biomass (mean lnRR\u2009=\u20090.751). The highest efficacy was observed under biotic stress (total plant dry weight\u2009+191.57%) and pollution (underground dry weight\u2009+154.23%), with biomass accumulation being more pronounced in belowground traits than in aboveground components. Physiologically, this growth promotion was associated with the alleviation of oxidative stress in plants, as manifested by the significant upregulation of antioxidant enzymes (CAT\u2009+\u200947.09%, POD\u2009+\u200941.55%, and SOD\u2009+\u200944.71%) and a concurrent reduction in lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, the weighted meta\u2010analysis revealed that single\u2010genus communities significantly outperformed multi\u2010genus communities in the present dataset (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.004). However, efficacy was entirely decoupled from community richness, measured as strain number (\n                      <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.000,\n                      <jats:italic>p\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u20090.490). These findings suggest that greater taxonomic breadth or higher strain richness was not necessarily associated with improved SynCom performance. Rather, efficacy appeared to be driven by specific microbial functional traits (such as IAA production and phosphorus solubilisation). We propose that the rational design of SynComs should prioritise strain function over community size to maximise agricultural sustainability and reduce metabolic burden.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/pce.70965","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]],"date-time":"2026-10-07T09:36:59Z","timestamp":1791365819000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Decoupling Community Complexity From Efficacy: A Meta\u2010Analysis of Synthetic Microbial Communities for Plant Stress Resilience"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1707-8592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenjing","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grassland and Animal Husbandry Engineering Technology Research Centre of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Ningxia University Yinchuan China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Model Innovation in Forage Production Efficiency, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Ningxia University Yinchuan China"},{"name":"School of Forestry and Grassland Science Ningxia University Yinchuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Borui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grassland and Animal Husbandry Engineering Technology Research Centre of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Ningxia University Yinchuan China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Model Innovation in Forage Production Efficiency, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Ningxia University Yinchuan China"},{"name":"School of Forestry and Grassland Science Ningxia University Yinchuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongbin","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grassland and Animal Husbandry Engineering Technology Research Centre of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Ningxia University Yinchuan China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Model Innovation in Forage Production Efficiency, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Ningxia University Yinchuan China"},{"name":"School of Forestry and Grassland Science Ningxia University Yinchuan China"},{"name":"Breeding Base for the State Key Laboratory of Land Degradation and Ecological Restoration in Northwest China Ningxia University Yinchuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3475-9977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huiping","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grassland and Animal Husbandry Engineering Technology Research Centre of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Ningxia University Yinchuan China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Model Innovation in Forage Production Efficiency, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Ningxia University Yinchuan China"},{"name":"School of Forestry and Grassland Science Ningxia University Yinchuan China"},{"name":"Breeding Base for the State Key Laboratory of Land Degradation and Ecological Restoration in Northwest China Ningxia University Yinchuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1419","DOI":"10.32604\/phyton.2025.064284","article-title":"Advances in PGPR\u2010Mediated Plant\u2010Pathogen Control for Food Security and Ecosystem Stability","volume":"94","author":"Ali S.","year":"2025","journal-title":"Phyton"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"109","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-019-1679-0","article-title":"Genetic Strategies for Improving Crop Yields","volume":"575","author":"Bailey\u2010Serres J.","year":"2019","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"233","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.arplant.57.032905.105159","article-title":"The Role of Root Exudates in Rhizosphere Interactions With Plants and Other Organisms","volume":"57","author":"Bais H.
