Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A dynamical ecosystem model with three variables, living biomass, wilted biomass and available soil wetness, isdeveloped to examine the vegetation—soil water interaction in semi-arid areas. The governing equations are based onthe mass conservation law. The physical and biophysical processes are formulated with the parameters estimated fromobservational data. Both numerical results and qualitative analysis of the model as well as observational data indicate thatthe maintenance of a grassland requires a minimum precipitation (or equivalently, a minimum moisture index), and thegrassland and desert ecosystem can coexist when precipitation is within a range above this threshold. Sensitivity studiesshow that these numerical results are robust with respect to model parameters and the transformation functions. It isalso found that the wilted vegetation plays a very important role in shaping the transition between grassland and desert.By using the theories of an attractor basin and multiple equilibrium states, the conditions for grassland maintenance andthe strategy of grazing are also analysed.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
