Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The chemical composition of the ash evaluated here shares key elements with ash derived from burned Pinus and Eucalyptus biomass, including elevated metal concentrations and detectable levels of PAHs.

    “The chemical composition of the ash evaluated here shares key elements with ash derived from burned Pinus and Eucalyptus biomass [66][67][68], including elevated metal concentrations and detectable levels of PAHs.”
  • The sum of OC and IC in field samples is within the overall ranges observed for total C in previous studies (50-460 g kg−1).

    “The sum of OC and IC in our field samples (215 g kg -1 ash; Table 3) is within the overall ranges observed for total C in previous studies (50 -460 g kg -1 ; Table 1; e.g., Alshehri et al., 2002;Costa et al., 2014;Pereira et al., 2012;Ulery et al., 1993).”
  • The higher pH in high severity ash is linked to more complete biomass combustion and larger quantities of oxides and carbonates produced at higher burn severities.

    “this is linked to the more complete biomass combustion and larger quantities of oxides (CaO, KO 2 ) and carbonates produced at higher burn severities (Fig. 3) (Bodí et al., 2014;Pereira et al., 2012;Ulery et al., 1993).”
  • Previous studies generally reported dissolved element ranges in the lower end of the ranges reported here, except Pereira et al. (2012), whose Mediterranean conifer forest values were closer to the upper ranges of this study.

    “in general, the ranges reported in the aforementioned studies are in the lower end of the ranges reported here.An exception is the study by Pereira et al. (2012) whose dissolved concentration values from Mediterranean conifer forest are closer to the upper ranges reported in this study.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
