Ecosystem carbon accumulation following fallow farmland afforestation with red pine in southern Quebec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We assessed the organic C stocks and inferred their changes in vegetation biomass, forest floor, and soil using a 50 year chronosequence of red pine ( Pinus resinosa Ait.) plantations established on postagricultural fields in southern Quebec, Canada. The data come from soil and tree field surveys carried out in the 1970s in 348 sites. Organic C concentrations were usually measured in three major mineral soil horizons; for the remaining soil horizons, they were estimated using pedotransfer functions. The effect of soil order, drainage, and texture was analysed. Over 22 years, organic C accumulation rates (Mg C·ha–1·year–1) were 1.66 ± 0.03 in vegetation biomass, 0.56 ± 0.07 in forest floor, 0.86 ± 0.47 in loamy soils (0–100 cm), and –0.18 ± 0.24 in sandy soils (0–100 cm). The greater rate of C accumulation in loamy soils was due to the contribution of the 30–100 cm subsoil layer. The overall net accumulation of organic C in these plantation ecosystems was estimated to 51.4 ± 4.8 Mg C·ha–1at 22 years. Soils of these plantations acted as a C sink in the first two decades, particularly in loamy soils compared with sandy soils, with no major differences among soil order or drainage.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
