Spatial Variability in Stability of Aggregates and Organic Matter of an Oxisol
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Soil preparation may break its structure, destabilize the aggregates, and cause the loss of organic matter (OM). The study of spatial variability of soil attributes is an important indicator of soil physical quality. The aim of this study was to describe the spatial variability of the stability of aggregates and organic matter in Oxisol (Yellow Latosol) under different management systems.We collected simple samplings of soil in the eastern mesoregion of Maranhão, Brazil. Experimental areas with two distinct management systems were studied: conventional tillage and no-tillage. In each experimental area, we fitted a rectangular mesh of 50 points with 40m of spacing and 0.00 to 0.20 mof depth. The response variables were: weighted mean diameter (WMD); geometric mean diameter (GMD); percentage of aggregates (on classes of size between 1-2 mm and above 2 mm); and organic matter (OM). The no-tillage management showed high values of WMD, GMD, class of aggregates and OM. Maps of WMD and GMD were spatially correlated to OM map at no-tillage management. Soil properties had a spatial-dependent structure. The management system influenced the stability of aggregates and the amount of organic matter.

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.
