Abstract
Organic matter (OM) is a critical component of Earth's carbon cycle, with strong potential to provide positive feedbacks to a warmer climate via enhanced release of carbon dioxide. Investigations of the fate of OM typically focus on large reservoirs (e.g., soils) and on abundant, relatively long‐lived compounds (e.g., lignin, a compound derived from the cell walls of woody plants), and the products of its decay. Many of these investigations are challenged by issues of scale. The appropriate spatial scale of many carbon cycling questions requires infrastructure beyond the means of most projects and temporal scales often impossible to achieve in a human lifetime. We advocate coupling flux measurements, parameters that ecosystem scientists often quantify, with compositional characterization of sources, reservoirs, and sinks, data often generated by organic geochemists. Combined, the approaches of these disciplines offer powerful tools to understand OM dynamics.

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 it
