The onset of xylogenesis is not related to distance from the crown in Smith fir trees from the southeastern Tibetan Plateau
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Young and mature trees are usually characterized by asynchronous growth resumption of xylem. Here, we test the hypothesis that the later onset of xylem growth in older trees is related to the longer distance of the stem from the developing buds, which represents the main source of hormones triggering vascular tissue differentiation. We compared the onset of xylogenesis at different heights along the stems of young and mature Smith fir (Abies georgei var. smithii (Viguie & Gaussen) W. C. Cheng & L. K. Fu)) trees in the Sygera Mountains, southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Xylem formation was monitored weekly in 2012 on anatomical sections of wood microcores. The onset of xylogenesis differed between young and mature trees, with most phases occurring 2 weeks later in mature trees. No effect of the sampling height was observed on the growth resumption. Our results suggest that the later resumption of xylogenesis in older conifer trees is not related to their longer distance from the crown.

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.
