Interannual surface water CO <sub>2</sub> and O <sub>2</sub> dynamics during fall in a small headwater lake
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Lake metabolism is often quantified using continuous measures of dissolved oxygen (O 2 ), where a 1: -1 stoichiometry with carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is assumed because of their roles in photosynthesis and respiration, respectively. However, many other physical, chemical, and biological processes decouple dissolved O 2 and CO 2 concentrations in lakes. Tracking departures from 1:-1 stoichiometry may provide insights into larger scale ecosystem functioning, particularly during fall when temperatures change and destratification occurs. Using continuous measures of both dissolved O 2 and CO 2 in a small temperate headwater lake, we looked at the interannual gas departure signals during fall over seven years. The beginning of fall, defined here as the start of leaf colour change, differed among years but coincided well with the onset of lake destratification and a shift in surface gas concentrations. Fall surface CO 2 accumulation rates varied considerably, whereas O 2 depletion rates were rather similar among years. Departure signals were broadly related to interannual differences in climate: more CO 2 accumulated in the surface during the hottest-wettest fall compared to the coldest-driest one (0.81 and 0.37 µmol L -1 d -1 , respectively), presumably from more catchment than hypolimnetic inputs. Lower CO 2 accumulation occurred during years with prolonged hypolimnetic hypoxia potentially through enhanced CO 2 consumption by methanogenesis. Other internal biological phenomena influenced fall departure signals, including a large metalimnetic oxygen peak, and higher fall surface primary production. We suggest gas departures during fall provide an integrative metabolic fingerprint for temperate stratified lakes, as well as insights into winter-priming conditions. Highlights Annual fall surface water CO 2 accumulation rates vary more than O 2 depletion rates. External fall inputs and internal processes influence gas departures differently. Fall gas departures may act as an integrative metabolic signal in temperate lakes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
