We tested the hypothesis that increased temperature (+3°C) will offset algal growth suppression by UV-B (78% UV-B increase) using duplicate mesocosm experiments containing natural phytoplankton assemblages. The response of the entire phytoplankton community, in terms of HPLC pigment-based phytoplankton biomass, community composition (CHEMTAX), xanthophyll cycles photoprotection and quantum yield of photosystem II (the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence: Fv/Fm), showed a significant influence of temperature (negative on small phytoplanktonic cells, <5 µm, and positive on larger diatoms) but only after the peak of the diatom bloom, when nutrients became limited. Interactions between temperature and UV-B treatments were significant only for small cells during post-bloom; UV-B induced an increase in phytoplankton biomass at the normal temperature but had no effect at warmer temperatures. Enhancing UV-B delayed the bloom slightly under the normal temperature and spread it over a longer period of time, with no sign of major cellular damage. Our results do not support the tested hypothesis, and they suggest that temperature plays a greater role than UV-B radiation in structuring phytoplankton communities, possibly favouring diatoms rather than small cells in a warmer climate scenario. Other effects such as grazing or coastal eutrophication should be considered in future studies.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
