Abstract
Abstract The interactions between climate change, fire and forest biodiversity can be characterized as a cascading relationship. Changes in climate directly affect fire frequency and severity. As a result of climate change, a significant increase in fire occurrence and behaviour is predicted to occur over the next 70 years. Climate change will also directly impact the composition of current ecosystems by shifting the fundamental niche of species to higher elevations and/or latitudes, with the changes being most apparent in temperate and boreal latitudes and on mountains in the tropics and subtropics. The alteration and shift of forest ecosystems will be facilitated by an increase in the frequency and severity of forest fires, as these ecosystem disturbances will create the opportunity for the development of new ecosystems. Warmer, drier conditions, coupled with a change in fire behaviour will reduce the resilience of existing ecosystems. The reduced ability to resist and/or recover from disturbance will result in the reduction or complete loss of ecosystem structures required by the fauna and flora that constitute the biodiversity we currently know today. Areas of climatic refuge that exist within landscapes may maintain the ecosystem structures required for some species in the face of direct climate change impacts. Areas that act as both fire and climatic refugia will provide habitat for biodiversity associated with late-successional forests. Species that require late-successional habitat in ecosystems that are intolerant of fire or drought are at greatest risk to climate change and its interaction with fire. The current composition of biodiversity within forested landscapes will change over time and space as species and habitat are both lost and gained in direct or indirect response to climate change.

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 it
