Soil quality of harvested and grazed forest cutblocks in Southern British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study evaluated soil chemical and physical properties as affected by timber harvesting and cattle grazing on cutblocks planted to lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. Latifolia Engelm.). Soil conditions on the ungrazed exclosures (representing disturbance by harvest only) and pastures grazed over 10 years to achieve 50% forage utilization (representing disturbance by harvest and grazing) were compared to the nearby forest without harvest and cattle grazing. Soil chemical properties showed no detrimental impacts from harvesting and/or livestock grazing. In fact, greater CEC, Ca, C, and N values on disturbance treatments should improve these soils as rooting media. Soil physical properties, although less favorable for tree growth on the two disturbance treatments than the mature forest, showed that a majority of the soil profile was not compacted above root-restricting threshold conditions. Results obtained from this study support the integrated use of forested rangeland in southern British Columbia.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
