Restoring Cladonia subgenus Cladina in a post mine environment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) boreal population is listed on Schedule 1 of the Federal Species at Risk Act as Threatened. During critical winter months, boreal caribou rely on Cladonia subgenus Cladina as their primary food source. To better understand how to rehabilitate winter habitat for caribou in a post mine environment in northeastern Ontario, different substrate (mine till and a gravel-capped forest road), amendments (peat, wood chips, and an erosion blanket), and lichen abundance (fragments and mat transplants) were evaluated for establishment for 23 months. The mine till and the post mine environment examined did not support the establishment of transplanted lichen fragments or mats, regardless of the amendments applied. However, lichen fragments and mats did establish on a gravel-capped forest roadway, and the amendments had no effect on establishment. Results indicate that Cladonia subgenus Cladina is both dispersal and substrate limited, and that transplanted lichen fragments and mats will establish on gravel-capped forest roadways in the boreal forest. What remains unclear is whether Cladonia subgenus Cladina fragments or mats are better suited for establishing lichen communities on gravel-capped forest roadways.

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.
