Abstract
I used fossil pollen and macroscopic charcoal in sediments extracted from three lakes to investigate the effects of climate and human activity on fire regimes and vegetation of Garry oak ecosystems in British Columbia. Sediment records from Roe Lake and Quamichan Lake span the past 250 calendar years, while the Florence Lake record spans 560. Roe and Quamichan charcoal records exhibit similar fire patterns and correspond to other fire records in the Pacific Northwest, indicating climate-driven responses. After ca. 1870, European agriculture, logging, and fire suppression dominate the fire and vegetation history at Roe and Quamichan lakes. Variations in pollen abundance and species composition confirm forest clearance and exotic plant introductions. Florence Lake data also correspond well with regional climate, until ca. 1800. These results show that, up until the mid-1800s, fire and vegetation histories varied in response to climate; thereafter, cultural activities appear to have dominated disturbance regimes.

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
