Abstract
Abstract While the impacts of invasive plants are commonly researched and described within the context of agriculture and restoration ecology, they receive less attention within the specific context of forestry. Forestry operations are both vulnerable to and could exacerbate the spread of invasive plants through all aspects of silviculture, all of which can lead to reduced profitability and negative impacts to the sustainability and resiliency of the ecosystems they operate within. The purpose of this review article was to synthesize the current academic and gray literature pertaining to invasive plants and forestry to inform prevention and management approaches and identify gaps in the research. We incorporated a case study from interviews with major forestry company professionals in British Columbia, Canada managing invasive species within their operations to provide critical and often overlooked perspectives and experiences. Our review provides key insights into the risks invasive plants pose to forest community and tree health, operations, economic value, and ecosystem health and identifies the need for research specific to the impacts of invasive plants and their management strategies within the context of forestry operations.

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
