Abstract
Abstract The effects of nutrient additions on growth of the red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) are not well known. We examined the growth and nutritional responses of 10 young (0–4 years old at time of fertilization) red alder plantations on eastern Vancouver Island to additions of phosphorus (P), added as triple super phosphate, and a blended fertilizer (F) containing elements other than nitrogen (N), P, and calcium (Ca). Site fertility classes ranged from poor to very rich and soil moisture regime classes ranged from moderately dry to very moist. Nutrients were added in single-tree plots and responses were measured for up to 3 years after fertilization. In plantations fertilized within 1 year of planting, P additions increased heights (average of 17%), basal diameters (28%), and stem volumes (68%) over a 3-year period and increased 1st-year foliar concentrations of P, N, and S. The fertilizer supplying other elements also increased concentrations of N and S, along with potassium (K), boron (B), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn), but increased volume by only 16%. These data suggest that deficiencies of P are more likely to limit the growth of young red alder than are deficiencies of other elements. Older plantations (more than 2 years postplanting) were less responsive to fertilization than were younger plantations (less than 2 years postplanting). Growth of young red alder appears limited by P availability when soil Bray-P and foliar P concentrations are less than approximately 12 mg kg−1 and 2 g kg−1, respectively.

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 it
