Mineral Balance Plasticity of Cloudberry (<i>Rubus chamaemorus</i>) in Quebec-Labrador Bogs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The "ionome", or plant elemental signature, is the elemental composition of an organisms, that may vary with genotypic traits and phenotypic plasticity.Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus L.) is a circumboreal wild berry naturally growing in oligotrophic oceanic bogs of Quebec and Labrador.Our objective was to relate cloudberry stand productivity to the ionomes of female ramets and explore the cause of nutrient imbalance in low-performing stands.We analyzed 13 elements in female ramets collected in 86 natural sites where crop productivity varied widely.We computed orthogonally arranged balances reflecting plant stoichiometric rules and soil biogeochemistry.Balances were expressed as isometric log ratios (ilr) between ad hoc sub-compositions.Balances were synthesized into a Mahalanobis distance optimized based on receiving operating characteristics (ROC).The critical Mahalanobis distance was found to be 5.29 for cutoff berry yield of 3.8 g•m -2 with test performance of 0.88, as measured by the area under the ROC curve.Although past research on cloudberry focused mainly on the N/P ratio, this exploratory mineral balance analysis indicated that imbalance in the [P,N | S,C] and [Al | Nutrients] partitions appeared to be the factors limiting the most cloudberry productivity in the bogs.Some highly productive stands showed relatively high C fixation and K use efficiency.Due to the complexity of interactions, diagnosis should be conducted computing first a global imbalance index (Mahalanobis distance), then examining in the balance domain binary partitions departing most from reference, and finally appreciating relative shortage, sufficiency or excess of elements in the concentration domain.

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.
