Genesis of Turbic Cryosols on north-facing slopes in a dissected, unglaciated landscape, west-central Yukon Territory
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The characteristics and landscape distribution of Histic Dystric Turbic Cryosols were examined on a steep (>30%) northerly slope in the unglaciated Klondike Plateau, near Dawson City, Yukon Territory. Based on texture, major element geochemistry, and clay mineralogy, the mineral parent materials were crudely stratified, with a silty material of likely aeolian origin overlying sandy gravelly colluvium. Discontinuous organic matter-enriched horizons occurred 50 cm or more below the active layer, and contained abundant partially decomposed plant detritus. Eight accelerator radiocarbon dates, ranging from 350 ± 40 to 3680 ± 40 14C years BP, suggested that incorporation of organic materials within and below the active layer was geologically recent, and had likely occurred by a combination of cryoturbation and slope processes. The widespread and rapid initiation of mass movements on slopes containing permafrost that followed forest fires in 2004 on the Klondike Plateau may be an analogue for the processes that contributed to organic matter burial in these Cryosols. These soils may represent a significant reservoir of C, as similar sites occupy at least 15% of a representative portion of the Plateau. This reservoir may be vulnerable to mobilization if future climatic warming increases the frequency of forest fires and resulting slope instability.Key words: Tyrbic Cryosol, Yukon Territory, cryoturbation, soil organic carbon, mass movement

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.
