Abstract
The Forest Watershed and Riparian Disturbance (FORWARD) initiative integrates aquatic and soil science, hydrology, and forestry into models that link water quality, water quantity, and disturbance indicators with management of watersheds on the Boreal Plain of western Canada. The impacts of varying patterns and intensities of fire and logging are being evaluated for 16 streams in the Swan Hills, Alberta, with the intention to extend the approach to the eastern portion of the Boreal Plain and into the Boreal Shield. The study uses two comparative approaches: treatment versus reference stream and before versus after disturbance. Models generated will be applied to designated multi-user watersheds in selected forest areas. In addition to yielding transferable technology for forest product industries, the FORWARD study tests hypotheses related to effects of watershed disturbance on soils, hydrology, and water quality on the phosphorus-rich and fire-prone Boreal Forest in western Canada. Key words: watershed disturbance, surface waters, soils, hydrology, modelling, forest management.

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
