Understory vegetation-environment relationships of lichen-rich forests in north-central British Columbia.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
I examined the environmental relationships of feathermosses, vascular plants, and mat-forming lichens in lodgepole pine forests. Seventy-two mature forest plots were surveyed using microhabitat-scale sampling for functional group abundance, canopy characteristics, nutrient availability, soil texture, topography, relative humidity and air temperature. Feathermosses positively associate with canopy closure, afternoon shade, nitrogen or base-cation availability, duff thickness, fine soil texture, and water-receiving positions. Lichens positively associate with total irradiance, aluminum:calcium availability, water-shedding positions, and base-cation or nitrogen deficiency. Vascular plants have higher within-group variability, but positively associate with direct irradiance, afternoon shade, canopy heterogeneity, duff thickness, nutrient availability, alkalinity, and fine soil texture. Lichen patches are characterized by lower atmospheric moisture than vascular plant or feathermoss patches, but microclimate is more strongly associated with macroclimate and soil than canopy or understory vegetation. Competition among functional groups probably occurs but is unimportant environmental filtering and initial floristics are more likely mechanism of niche partitioning. --P.i.

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.
