Abstract
We address the need for spatio-temporally explicit analysis techniques linking the scales of ecosystem, observation, and analysis, using a hierarchical ecoregionalization to examine remotely sensed data at spatial scales of ecological and management significance. Long- and short-term changes in vegetation functioning are a key indicator of ecological processes. We predict net primary production (NPP) at monthly temporal resolution for 16 years (1981-1996) at an 8-km spatial resolution for the approximately 10 6 km 2 area of Ontario, Canada. We calculate landscape-level light use efficiency values that are tuned to monthly and long-term ecoclimates, and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index from the NOAA-AVHRR sensor. Applying our spatio-temporal analysis tools, we show evidence for increasing NPP across most of the province. This increase varies seasonally and annually across Ontario, and its magnitude and distribution varies with the spatial scales of analysis. Bridging the gap between local and global studies, this research supports spatio-temporal monitoring and analysis of ecosystem functions.

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
