Pollenvegetation relationships in Bay of Fundy salt marshes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We examined the distribution of vegetation and pollen in surface soils of three salt marshes on the outer Bay of Fundy to assess the value of pollen in paleoenvironmental reconstructions. We examined the relationship of pollen to vegetation using linear regression at two scales: vegetation zones dominated by graminoids and forb patches within these zones. Of the dominant graminoids, only pollen of Cyperaceae was a dependable indicator of source vegetation. In contrast, at least seven common forbs were significantly represented by their pollen at one or both scales. Because forbs are more abundant in northern marshes, increases in forb pollen abundance in buried sediments of southern marshes could signal colder climate regimes. Other studies have shown Plantago maritima L. and Ligusticum scoti cum L. to be associated with distinct ranges in elevation, and Triglochin maritima L. with soil anoxia. Thus, shifts in forb pollen abundance may indicate changes in tidal flooding frequency and sea levels.Key words: Potentilla anserina, Glaux maritima, Spergularia canadensis, wetland, palynology.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
