Drivers of the variability of soil phosphorus fractions in boreal forested watersheds
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the boreal forest, phosphorus (P) is tightly cycled and can be heterogenous in its distribution across the landscape. Characterizing chemical, physical, and landscape-scale drivers of variability in both concentration and forms of soil P can help us understand how P dynamics will respond to environmental change; however, data on forms of soil P in boreal forests are sparse. The goal of this study was to assess the variability of soil P across a boreal forested watershed. Seventy-four surface soil samples from a boreal forested catchment were analyzed for a suite of chemical and physical characteristics, and were paired with geospatial data to develop predictive models of forms of soil P. Water-extractable P concentrations were low, while total P (65.7–2197 mg kg −1 ) and plant-available (Mehlich-3-extractable) P (0.63–193 mg kg −1 ) concentrations varied widely across the study area. Partial least squares regression results indicated that plant-available P was strongly related to soil Mn and Ca content, while total P was more strongly related to organic C and wetness index. These results suggest that soil P can vary widely, even in nutrient-poor boreal ecosystems, and site-specific characteristics may play an important role in predicting variability.

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.
