Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The effects of lateral shade and wind on stem allometry, whole-plant biomass allocation, and mechanical stability were examined for Abutilon theophrasti in a fully factorial glasshouse experiment. Lateral shade from neighboring plants increased stem height by 33% relative to control plants grown individually, despite a decrease in plant dry mass. Intermittent wind decreased stem height by 18% in unshaded plants, but by only 3% in shaded plants. Surprisingly, both lateral shade and wind caused decreases in stem diameter, even with diameter controlled for height, resulting in low diameter : height ratios in wind-treated plants relative to untreated plants. Under shade, wind-treated plants had higher root allocation than untreated plants, which allowed wind-treated shade plants to compensate for a low diameter : height ratio. This did not occur in the absence of shade, where stem tissue density and root allocation of wind-treated plants did not exceed that of untreated plants. Nevertheless, wind-treated plants experienced low drag relative to untreated plants due to a lower leaf area. Consequently, stem deflections of wind-treated plants did not exceed those of untreated plants at any given windspeed. Our results document a complex interaction between shade and wind on plant morphology and suggest that the nature of this interaction is generally that lateral shade acts to reduce or eliminate thigmomorphogenic responses.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
