The Regulation of Chemical Budgets Over the Course of Terrestrial Ecosystem Succession
Abstract
Vitousek & Reiners (158) have suggested that change in net ecosystem production is a major determinant of the balance between inputs and out puts of elements in terrestrial ecosystems. They argued that in the course of primary succession element outputs are initially relatively high (approx imating inputs), that they then drop to a minimum because of element accumulation in biomass and detritus when net ecosystem production is highest, and that eventually output rates rise again approximately to equal inputs in late succession when net ecosystem production approaches zero (Figure 1). In most cases of secondary succession, net ecosystem production is negative immediately following disturbance, and in such cases output rates can exceed input rates. The probable importance of change in net ecosystem production is supported in particular by observations of higher element outputs from later successional ecosystems (22, 90, 1'57-159) and

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.
