Abstract
Abstract European larch is a fast-growing exotic species that shows promise in alleviating projected fiber supply shortages with numerous plantations being established in the Lake States, the Northeast, and Canada during the last two decades. Prescribing thinning regimes for these plantations would be facilitated through the use of a stocking chart. Few older plantations exist in North America, however, thus fitting equations to construct an A-line that requires data from a large number of stands is not possible. We introduce a new approach to constructing an A-line by using the stand density index that in essence is a modification of the traditional tree area ratio approach. We then invoke the self-thinning rule to produce a reference line for Maximum Average Density and an equation for open-grown trees to produce a reference line for Full Site Occupancy in the construction a stocking chart for field use. We also provide yield estimates by diameter class at maximum and minimum stocking levels. North. J. Appl. For. 20(1):34–38.

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
