The Paleosol Record of Increasing Plant Diversity and Depth of Rooting and Changes in Atmospheric pCO<sub>2</sub> in the Siluro-Devonian
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Paleosols Crop Out extensively in the Appalachian region of eastern North America, from the Canadian Maritime Provinces southward to the Tennessee-Alabama border along the western side of the Appalachian Orogen (Fig. 1). The paleosols occur primarily in terrigenous clastic redbed deposits ranging in age from Late Ordovician to Early Permian (Mora and Driese, 1999; Driese and Mora, in press ), which encompass a time interval characterized by rapid evolution and diversification of terrestrial ecosystems (Table 1). These Appalachian paleosols formed under relatively constant sediment-source area and pedogenic environments (Table 1); thus they share generally uniform physical and chemical properties. As such, they are suitable particularly for investigating evolutionary advances in the gross morphology of plant roots and rhizomes, preserved as traces, and their relationship to physical and chemical features in the paleosols (Table 2). Important changes in plant abundance, rhizome and root systems, and adaptive capabilities are recorded in the paleosols, concurrent with a proxy record of changing environmental conditions. Paleosols represent a still-underutilized record of the terrestrial ecosystem (Retallack, 1990).

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.
