Abstract
The anticipated benefits of increased soil C stocks on net soil‐surface greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions after adoption of soil conservation practices can be offset by increases in soil N 2 O emissions. The objective of this study was to assess the short‐term impacts of no‐till (NT) on soil N 2 O emissions. The study was conducted in eastern Canada in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th yr after initiation of NT and fall moldboard plowing (MP) on heavy clay and gravelly loam soils. Annual emissions of N 2 O were exceptionally high in the heavy clay soil, varying from 12 to 45 kg N 2 O‐N ha −1 during the 3 yr of the study. Such high emissions were probably not associated with fertilizer N inputs but rather with denitrification sustained by the decomposition of large soil organic matter stocks (192 Mg C ha −1 in the top 0.5 m). On average, NT more than doubled N 2 O emissions compared with MP in the heavy clay soil. The influence of plowing on N 2 O flux in the heavy clay soil was probably the result of increased soil porosity that maintained soil aeration and water content at levels restricting denitrification and N 2 O production in the top 0.20 m. In the loam soil, average emissions during the 3 yr were similar in the NT and MP plots. The results of this study indicate that the potential of NT for decreasing net GHG emissions may be limited in fine‐textured soils rich in organic matter that are prone to high water content and reduced aeration.

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
