Dry Combustion Carbon, Walkley–Black Carbon, and Loss on Ignition for Aggregate Size Fractions on a Toposequence
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Accurate and simple methods for determining soil organic carbon that do not involve the use of chemicals that damage the environment are required. Dry combustion carbon, Walkley–Black carbon, and loss on ignition (LOI) were determined on whole soils (<2000 µm) and aggregate size fractions (250–2000 µm, 53–250 µm, <53 µm) collected from a toposequence, part cropped and part under forest regrowth. For each group, the Walkley–Black correction factor averaged 1.2, which was less than the usually assumed factor of 1.3. Both temperature and sample weight had significant effects on LOI, but the former had a greater effect. There were strong correlations between LOI and dry combustion carbon for all aggregate size fractions. Highest coefficient of determination (R2=0.89–0.93) were obtained for 1‐g soil samples ignited at 375°C for 2 h; under these conditions, slopes and intercepts of the regressions of organic carbon on LOI were not significantly different among aggregate fractions.

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.
