Effects of climate on earlywood vessel formation of <i>Quercus robur</i> and <i>Q.</i> <i>pyrenaica</i> at a site in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We analysed climate–growth relationships for two ring-porous oak species (Quercus robur L. and Q. pyrenaica Willd.) at one site in northwestern Spain. Increment cores from 12 living trees per species were taken for ring and earlywood vessel measurements, considering three width variables (for earlywood, latewood, and the whole ring) and six anatomical variables (based on vessel area distribution, number of vessels, and conductivity) in the earlywood. We used standard dendrochronological procedures and compared each mean series with meteorological records of temperature, precipitation, and estimates of soil water content. Earlywood width was negatively related to precipitation in the previous late season for Q. robur, but it was controlled by the previous spring temperature for Q. pyrenaica. These responses were highly dependent on vessel number and probably related to carbohydrate storage dynamics but differed between species. Vessel size showed a stronger relationship to climate and was mainly coupled to water excess during the winter for Q. robur but dependent on quiescence temperature for Q. pyrenaica; also, climatic signal in vessel size was maximized by the largest vessels for Q. pyrenaica but only increased slightly for Q. robur. Consequently, vessel parameters showed a much stronger climate signal than ring width and were successful at highlighting the differences between both oak species.

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.
