Soil CO<sub>2</sub> production and surface flux at four climate observatories in eastern Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Soils constitute the largest terrestrial source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, and in the context of changing global temperature and moisture patterns, it is critical that we understand the climatic controls on soil respiration. We use subsurface CO 2 concentrations, surface CO 2 flux and detailed physical monitoring of the subsurface regime to examine physical controls on soil CO 2 production. Results indicate that subsurface CO 2 production is very sensitive to the subsurface thermal regime, where relationships were robust and also stable across all land use types studied. In contrast, the thermal dependence of surface CO 2 flux was much weaker. We found that soil heat content, rather than soil temperature, was the most descriptive index of the biological processes contributing to soil profile CO 2 production at our study sites. Soil moisture was also found to have an important influence on subsurface CO 2 production, particularly because of the relationship between moisture and soil profile diffusivity. Nondiffusive profile CO 2 transport also appears to be important at these sites where the subsurface controls on transport change regularly and markedly.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
