UV RADIATION, PHOSPHORUS, AND THEIR COMBINED EFFECTS ON THE TAXONOMIC COMPOSITION OF PHYTOPLANKTON IN A BOREAL LAKE<sup>1</sup>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We examined how UV radiation and phosphorus (P) affect the taxonomic composition, abundance, and biomass of phytoplankton in an oligotrophic boreal lake. We exposed phytoplankton to three different solar radiation regimes (PAR + UV‐A radiation [UVAR]+ UV‐B radiation [UVBR], PAR + UVAR, and PAR only) and to five levels of P. The biomass of small chrysophytes was reduced by 350% after exposure to PAR + UVAR + UVBR compared with PAR only. No other taxa were found to be negatively affected by exposure to UVBR. Several taxa (e.g. Chry‐ sochromulina laurentiana Kling) were sensitive to UVAR, whereas others (e.g. Tabellaria flocculosa (Roth) Kutzing) were not affected by UV radiation exposure. Principal components analysis ordination separated phytoplankton that were negatively affected by UV radiation and/or positively affected by P treatments (e.g. small chrysophytes, Cryptomonas rostratiformis , T. flocculosa ) from those that generally were unaffected by either treatment (e.g. desmids, some Cyanobacteria). Richness, Shannon‐Weaver diversity, and evenness were significantly higher in phytoplankton communities shielded from UVAR and UVBR. The relationship between diversity and richness was positive in all phytoplankton samples except in those exposed to UVBR. Thus, UVBR‐exposed phytoplankton communities were dominated by a few species even though the number of taxa remained relatively unchanged. Consequently, alterations in the UV environments of lakes resulting from climate warming (e.g. drought) and land‐use change (e.g. increased P export) will likely promote shifts in the community composition of lake phytoplankton.

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.
