Abstract
To investigate if timber harvesting influences spatial patterns of soil micro climate, forest floor soil temperature and moisture were examined across forest-clearcut edges. Transects were sampled during the 2000 growing season across a 1-ha clearcut at a subalpine forest site in the southern interior of British Columbia, Canada. Forest floor temperature measurements were made twice, once under sunny and once under overcast conditions. Moisture status, measured under wet and dry conditions, was expressed as gravimetric and volumetric moisture content and matric potential. Wavelet analysis was used to detect and compare the location of edges in soil properties, and variance partitioning was used to examine the environmental and spatial sources of variability in temperature and moisture. Based on the wavelet analyses, the transition zone, in both temperature and moisture between forest and clearcut occurred at 7–15 m into the clearcut from the south edge and at 8–18 m into the forest from the north edge. Spatial patterns were consistent between clear and overcast conditions and wet and dry conditions. Distance from the edge was a minor source of spatial variability in temperature and moisture relative to the strong contrast between forest and clearcut conditions. The edge influences may have implications for nutrient cycling, plant available water and forest regeneration. Key words: Soil temperature, soil moisture, forest floor, subalpine forest, wavelet analysis, edge effects

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
