Abstract
The effect of plant diversity (1, 2, 8, or 16 species) on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was assessed at the Cedar Creek Long-Term Ecological Research site at East Bethel, Minnesota, from 1997 to 1999. At each of the five samplings, AMF in 16-species plots produced from 30 to 150% more spores and from 40 to 70% greater spore volumes than AMF in one-species plots. Regressions of spore numbers and volumes with percent plant cover, plant diversity, and soil NO 3 as independent variables suggest that midsummer plot soil NO 3 was the best single predictor of AMF spore production in these plots. Plant diversity influenced spore volume in four samplings and spore numbers in the first three samplings. Plant cover was predictive of spore volume throughout the experiment but of spore number only in the first year. Sporulation by larger-spored AMF species (Gigaspora spp. and Scutellospora spp.) increased significantly with increasing plant diversity, while sporulation of the smaller-spored species varied in response to host diversity. Spore numbers of several AMF species were consistently negatively correlated and none positively correlated with midseason soil NO 3 concentrations, demonstrating the adaptation of these AMF species to nitrogen-limited conditions.Key words: mycorrhiza, community, grassland, sporulation, nitrogen, specificity.

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 it
