Benthic Metabolism and the Quality of Sediment Organic Carbon
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AbstractWe have used changes in oxygen uptake of sediment cores incubated in the laboratory and receiving no particulate input to examine the utilization of labile organic carbon by the benthos. A model is described that predicts a decline in sediment oxygen consumption after primary labile organic carbon (G01) is depleted. Oxygen consumption by cores taken from an intertidal sandflat in Nova Scotia and incubated in darkness (11–13°C) declined after about two months. G01 organic carbon was estimated as ∼8% of total sediment carbon (GT) in the upper 1 cm of sediment. Anaerobic metabolism (based on CO2 production), a significant portion of community metabolism, increased rather than declined during the incubations. Similar calculations were performed using published data on cores from Narragansett Bay. At this location, organic matter in the G01 fraction was 5% of GT. A less labile organic carbon fraction (G02) was estimated to be 44% of GT based on declining oxygen consumption after 27 days. Refractory car...

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
