Composition and decomposition of rhizoma peanut (Arachis glabrata Benth.) belowground biomass
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Roots and rhizomes can play an important role in nutrient cycling, however, few studies have investigated how their decomposition pattern is affected by defoliation and time of the year. This 2-year study evaluated root-rhizome composition and decomposition of a warm-season rhizomatous perennial legume [rhizoma peanut (RP; Arachis glabrata Benth.)] under continuous stocking or when defoliated by clipping every 56 days. A 168-days incubation trial was performed to determine disappearance of biomass and N and changes in acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent insoluble N (ADIN), and C:N ratio. Additionally, three 56-days incubations were performed each year to evaluate the disappearance coefficient ( B 0 ) and relative decay rate ( k ). There were no treatment differences in any response for the 168-days incubation. After 168 days, 21 and 60% of initial biomass and initial N remained, respectively. Relative decay rate for OM and N were 0.0088 and 0.0035 g g −1 day −1 , respectively. Carbon-to-N ratio decreased from 29 at day 0 to 17 at day 168. Concentration of ADIN increased from 6.9 to 19.3 g kg −1 , plateauing at day 79. The B 0 and k for remaining OM and N were greater in late than early season and could be explained by greater N concentration and lesser C:N ratio. Rapid decomposition, difference in C:N ratio from day 0 to 168, and the increase in ADIN concentration during incubation indicate large amounts of root-rhizome-soluble C at initiation of incubation. These data indicate that RP root-rhizome turnover is more responsive to season than defoliation frequency.

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.
