Soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux and root respiration at three sites in a mixed pine and spruce forest: seasonal and diurnal variation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Soil CO 2 efflux and respiration of excised roots were measured with a LI-COR 6200 at three sites in a mixed forest (60°05'N, 17°3'E), from May to October 1999, both day and night. Fine-root (<5 mm in diameter) respiration was measured at ambient root temperature and soil CO 2 partial pressure, and the roots were analysed for nitrogen (N) concentration. Root-density data obtained from soil cores were used to estimate fine-root biomass. Coarse-root respiration was estimated using stand data, literature data, and allometric relationships. Soil CO 2 efflux, 3.07.0 µmol·m 2 ·s 1 , differed between sites but showed no diurnal variation. Maximum values were obtained in July through August. Fine-root respiration, 0.34.7 nmol·g 1 ·s 1 , decreased after peaking in early July and showed no diurnal variation. The seasonal mean was lowest at the South site, where also root distribution patterns were different and root N concentrations were lower. Fine-root respiration increased with root N concentration; however, the relationship was very weak, since the variation in root N concentration between sites and times of year was small. Both soil CO 2 efflux and fine-root respiration increased exponentially with soil and root temperature, respectively, although fine-root respiration was twice as sensitive. The percentage of soil CO 2 efflux emanating from roots was 3362% in May, thereafter decreasing to 1216% in October. This, in combination with larger temperature sensitivity for fine-root respiration, is suggested to cause the temperature sensitivity of soil CO 2 efflux to diminish over the season.

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.
