Abstract
Relationships between soil organic carbon (SOC), organic matter (SOM), and bulk density (BD) were established in acidic loamy to sandy loam fine fractions of forest soils in Quebec (Canada). The interest of such relationships rests with the possibility of using simple and rapid techniques to estimate SOC and BD. It is also a crucial step in establishing the correspondence among several databases when SOC data are obtained using different measurement techniques. In this study, SOC was measuredby dry combustion (SOCN DC ) and wet digestion (SOC WD ) methods, and organic matter by loss-on-ignition (LOI). Our results suggest that, in these soils: (1) LOI can be used for estimating SOC (r 2 = 0.95, RMSEP = 16%) and SOC DC /SOM significantly decreased with increasing depth from 0.49 to 0.27; (2) SOC DC and SOC WD were highly correlated. Even if SOC WD provided near complete recovery of SOC DC , dry combustion remains the preferred method for SOC analysis since recovery decreased with increasing depth from 100 to 83%. (3) BD was also strongly related to SOM(r 2 = 0.81). We recommend using the organic density approach to estimate BD from SOM because it allows BD to be predicted without significant bias and with a degree of accuracy of 14%.

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 it
