Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Forestry enrollments in Canada have declined by approximately one-third between 1998/99 and 2002/03. A number of reasons, underlying the supply and demand of foresters, could explain these declines. Tuition fees are at an all-time high in real terms, public perceptions of foresters' ability to manage public forests may be sliding, and jobs in forestry have been declining. Statistical tests suggest a strong relationship between forestry jobs, lagged two and three years, and forestry enrollments. Given that forestry jobs declined in 2002/03, and that there seems to be a lagged relationship between jobs and enrollments, we may not yet have seen the bottom of forestry enrollments. Whatever the cause of declining enrollments, it appears time to contribute significant effort into investigating these issues further. Key words: forestry enrollments, forestry jobs, supply and demand of foresters, public perceptions of foresters

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
