Physical and Chemical Limnology of 34 Lentic Waterbodies along a Tropical-to-Alpine Altitudinal Gradient in Nepal
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Physical and chemical factors were studied in 34 lentic waterbodies distributed along a steep altitudinal gradient ranging from tropical (77 m) to high alpine (up to 4,980 m) environments in Nepal. Bicarbonate and calcium were dominant among anions and cations, respectively, reflecting a strong influence of carbonate weathering and watershed area, rather than altitudinal climate. The relative patterns of dominant ions were similar among lakes in all altitudinal regions, although total concentrations increased with decreasing altitude. Total suspended solids were relatively high in the study lakes, as is also typical of rivers in the Ganges watershed. Suspended solids had a greater influence on water transparency than did algal biomass in the study lakes. In general, high-altitude waterbodies were oligotrophic, while those at low altitude were eutrophic. The productivity of high-altitude study lakes appeared to be limited by both available phosphorus and nitrogen, while lowland ones were nitrogen-limited. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

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.
