Sensitivity of western redcedar to climate and western hemlock looper in British Columbia's inland temperate rainforest.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The inland temperate rainforest of British Columbia is a unique forest type dominated by large western redcedar.Uncertainty surrounding resilience o f this forest to climate change and outbreaks o f western hemlock looper makes development o f management and conserva tion strategies challenging.Western redcedar trees were sampled at paired low and higher elevation sites, on north and south-facing aspects.Western redcedar growth was positively correlated with Jan uary temperature and growing season precipitation, and was negatively correlated with June temperature.Reconstruction o f western hemlock looper outbreaks demonstrated that succes sive years of warm, dry spring seasonal conditions preceded outbreaks, and the mean return interval was 36.5 years.Western redcedar growth responded negatively to the same climate factors that were associated with looper outbreaks.Under a warmer and drier climate scenario, looper out breaks are expected to increase in frequency, and western redcedar may not be able to sur vive defoliation as well as it has historically.

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.
