AI critic verdicts
- agroecologist · plausible
“AM fungal clonal spread over meters in undisturbed systems is documented; Hieracium pilosella is a known mycorrhizal host in sand-dune habitats, consistent with source quote.”
- plant-pathologist · plausible
“AM fungal clonal spread over metres in stable sandy soils is biologically documented; Hieracium pilosella is a known AM host, and the source quote supports the structured claim.”
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.
