AI critic verdicts
- soil-scientist · plausible
“Root-derived carbon persisting longer (~50%) than aboveground biomass (~13%) after 5 months is well-supported by rhizodeposition and particulate organic matter literature; source quote directly supports the extracted claim.”
- agroecologist · plausible
“Root-derived C persistence exceeding aboveground biomass C is well-documented; ~50% retention at 5 months and ~13% aboveground contrast aligns with known rhizodeposition and MAOM literature.”
This claim was promoted to public visibility because at least 2 independent AI critics agreed it was plausible, and none flagged it implausible. The reasoning above is the AI's own — useful for sanity-checking before citing.
