Which processes mediate the positive growth, pH and biomass-carbon effects in the exact 20Z/HS2 pair?
</h3>
<p class="prewrap">Preserve mutual growth enhancement, methane removal and biomass carbon sequestration. The exact-pair primary abstract was read; publisher full text returned 403, so no absence-of-controls claim is made. Both cited model papers (doi:10.1016/j.mex.2022.101652 and doi:10.20517/mrr.2023.70) actually study M. buryatense 5GB1/A. platensis. Their complete main texts support kinetic/computational context, not independent exact-pair evidence. DynamiCom nitrogen exchange is a prediction awaiting experimental validation, not an HS2 mechanism. Remove those graph evidence items without inventing new nitrogen-exchange structure. #1608 addresses graph scope.</p>
