Historical insecticide applications for the treatment of forest insect pests from 1968 to 2017, in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Key message The geospatial dataset describes large-scale applications of insecticides to forests from 1968 to 2017 in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) and Nova Scotia (NS), Canada. The data was assembled to provide a historical record of forested land management practices to control insect populations (Heartz et al. 2024). These data are useful for research into the efficacy and long-term environmental impacts, which will inform future pest management decision-making. Dataset access is at https://doi.org/10.23687/463c5141-39ad-4734-85a5-755049f93e60 .

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.
