Hydrodynamic control of benthic mats of <i>Didymosphenia geminata</i> at the reach scale
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Algal blooms caused by the stalk-forming diatom Didymosphenia geminata impact the habitat structure and functioning of stream ecosystems. We evaluated site-specific geomorphic controls on D. geminata in a cobble bed river in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Entrainment potential, defined as the ratio of mean bed shear stress to the critical shear stress, was found to be the most important control on total abundance. A comparison with critical thresholds for sediment transport showed that the requirements for flushing flows to control D. geminata blooms are similar to that required for channel maintenance. Environmental parameters influencing the morphology of the algal mats and the potential for D. geminata to dominate the benthic algal community were also investigated. The results not only contribute to understanding of the controls on benthic algal growth in dynamic streams but also for management of water releases as mitigation for the control of future blooms of D. geminata.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
