Soil microbial carbon and phosphorus as influenced by phosphorus fertilization and tillage in a maize-soybean rotation in south-western Quebec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The management of the soil microbial P pool could improve system sustainability. The long-term impact of inorganic P inputs (0, 40 and 80 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 ) and tillage (conventional and ridge tillage) on soil microbial biomass P (SMB-P) was defined in the soybean phase of a 10-yr-old maize-soybean rotation, on a Gleysolic clay-loam. Soil microbial biomass C (SMB-C) and SMB-P were determined four times in the growing season. Yearly applications of 40 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 increased soil organic carbon level, partly explaining the increase in SMB-P measured at this rate. Results suggest that P-mediated modification of soil microbial community structure also contributed to increase SMB-P at this P rate. The increase of application of P rate (80 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 ) produced the largest soybean yield, but generally decreased SMB-P. Our results and those of others suggest that balanced soil fertility (corresponding to fertilizer recommendations in our case) promotes soil microbial development. The use of ridge tillage did not increase the soil organic carbon level, but did increase SMB-P. The SMB-P pool was large (equivalent to 24.4kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 ) in the 0- to 20-cm soil layer, but unrelated to yield. Improving the ability of crops to access this pool of soil P would increase the value of its management. Key words: Conventional tillage, conservation tillage, P fertilization, soil microbial biomass C, P, and C to P ratio

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.
