Initial beneficial effects of fire and bulldozing on Neglected Milkvetch, Astragalus neglectus, in an eastern Ontario alvar woodland
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Following a fire 16 months earlier, data on presence and amount of a rare and restricted plant, Astragalus neglectus, was collected in order to determine the initial effects of burning and bulldozing.Frequency and cover were recorded in 340 one metre square quadrats of which 150 were in burned woodland, 90 were along the undriven portions of two bulldozed tracks through unburned woodland, and 100 were in unburned woodland.In addition, the number of Astragalus neglectus seedlings was recorded within 2.5 m of each of 450 observation points, each 5 m apart, including 150 along two bulldozed tracks and 300 in adjacent woodland.There were significantly more occurrences of Astragalus neglectus in burned woodlands and bulldozed tracks than in adjacent unburned woodlands.More than 95% of the Astragalus neglectus plants recorded were definitely seedlings, and the percentage seedlings may have been as high as 99%.A major spread and population increase in Astragalus neglectus is therefore associated with the recent disturbance events.This provides additional accumulating evidence that disturbance management may be important in maintaining high native biodiversity and rare species in alvar landscapes.

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.
