Soil net nitrogen mineralisation across global grasslands
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Soil nitrogen mineralisation (N min ), the conversion of organic into inorganic N, is important for productivity and nutrient cycling. The balance between mineralisation and immobilisation (net N min ) varies with soil properties and climate. However, because most global-scale assessments of net N min are laboratory-based, its regulation under field-conditions and implications for real-world soil functioning remain uncertain. Here, we explore the drivers of realised (field) and potential (laboratory) soil net N min across 30 grasslands worldwide. We find that realised N min is largely explained by temperature of the wettest quarter, microbial biomass, clay content and bulk density. Potential N min only weakly correlates with realised N min , but contributes to explain realised net N min when combined with soil and climatic variables. We provide novel insights of global realised soil net N min and show that potential soil net N min data available in the literature could be parameterised with soil and climate data to better predict realised N min .

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.
