Conditions de germination et rôle des herbivores dans la dispersion et le recrutement d'une espèce clonale : <i>Juncus gerardi</i> Lois.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The finding of new individuals of a clonal plant, Juncus gerardi, raised the question of modalities for the colonization of new sites by this species. Indeed, the existence of seedlings has not been observed in the field, nor reported in the literature for European marshes. Among the parameters limiting recruitment, we examined the soil seed bank, which appeared extremely small. Many seeds could be found in bovine feces but few were found in equine feces. Futhermore, bovines are not only important for seed dispersion, but also for the improvement of the germinative capacities: the seed germination rate of Juncus gerardi was doubled after digestive transit. Germination testing showed that this species is largely tolerant to salinity (from 0 to 26,4 mS·cm-1). The germination rate was maximal with a thermoperiod of 10-20°C but null for a 0-10°C thermoperiod. Germination was improved by immersion and was light dependent. The critical phase for colonization success in new habitats could be primarily seedling survival. Recruitment success in Juncus gerardi seems to be a rare event, requiring the combination of favorable conditions related to climate and gap openings in swards.Key words: germinative capacities, feces, clonal plant, grazers, endozoochory, pastures.

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.
