Soil enzymatic factors expressing the influence of land use, tillage system and texture on soil biochemical quality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We identified complexes of soil nutrient mineralising enzymes expressing the influence of land use, tillage system and texture on soil biochemical quality in production systems involving corn, soybean, wheat and oat. The activities of dehydrogenase, β-glucosidase, L-glutaminase, urease, alkaline phosphatase, and arylsulphatase were measured in 760 soil samples taken from the A horizon of uncultivated land and cultivated Gleysols and Luvisols cropped with conventional tillage (CT) and reduced tillage (RT) systems between 1994 and 1996.Discriminant analysis showed that an enzymatic decomposition factor captured 96% of the total dispersion in soil enzyme activity responding to type of land use and tillage system. The soil enzymes β-glucosidase, dehydrogenase and L-glutaminase contributed most to this factor and were sensitive indicators for assessing the health of microbial mineralisation processes of the C and N cycles. Two biochemical factors expressed the influence of texture on soil enzyme activity. The first, a soil organic C and N decomposition factor captured 68% of the dispersion in enzyme activities was influenced mostly by β-glucosidase and dehydrogenase. The second factor, which captured 32% of the dispersion in enzyme activity, was influenced mostly by arylsulphatase and denotes the effects of texture on a pool generally considered to be extracellular in nature. Cluster analysis helped define seven levels of soil enzyme activity ranging from very low (mostly in soils cropped with CT) to very high [mostly in uncultivated (UC) land and soils cropped with RT]. The identification of key enzymatic factors and the definition of seven levels of enzyme activity serve as a basis for developing quantitative systems monitoring the impact of crop production systems on soil enzymes having specific ecological functions in agricultural land. Key words: Soil enzymes, tillage, land use, texture, dehydrogenase, β-glucosidase, glutaminase

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.
