Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The link between carbon and nitrogen (N) in soil organic matter has long been recognized but has been largely ignored in determining the supply of N from soil for crop production. We propose that N mineralization can only be understood as a by-product of soil organic carbon (SOC) change and that progress in improving N use efficiency by crops must explicitly include consideration of SOC. This suggests some immediate avenues for improved fertilizer N management as well as future research activities. Recent advances in understanding the various fractions of soil organic matter and their role in C cycling have great potential for improving our understanding of N cycling in the soil as well, and the potential for N release that could be utilized by crops.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
