Provenance matters: variability under saline stress in young plants of four populations of a <i>Prosopis</i> (mesquite) species from dry forests of Argentina
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The planting of native perennial woody species tolerant to variable salt concentrations can facilitate the recovery of degraded dry forests. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare, under experimentally controlled conditions, the response to saline of young plants from four provenances of Prosopis alba, a mesquite species useful for restoration plans. The seeds of P. alba were from different localities of the Chaco region of Argentina (Santiago del Estero, Chaco, Formosa, and Salta). The plants were evaluated for 45 days under greenhouse-controlled growth conditions in the presence of 0, 100, and 300 mmol·L −1 NaCl. We measured variables associated with growth, photosynthesis, and redox state. The imposed salt stress condition did not cause plant death in any provenance. However, salinity produced a strong effect on growth and physiological variables of all provenances. Salta provenance was associated with higher net values of biomass and stem diameter. Chaco registered the greatest relative values of height and stem diameter, indicating a higher salinity tolerance than the other provenances. Chaco also produced more antioxidants to cope with the oxidative stress associated with saline stress. Chaco and Salta provenances may be the most promising for use in restoration plans of dry forests in areas with saline soils in the Chaco region. We emphasize the importance of using different provenances in forest restoration for a more successful system recovery.

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.
