Changes in winter habitat use by mammals following commercial thinning of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) in west central Alberta / by Kyle Emslie.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
"In 1996, Millar Western Forest Products initiated an adaptive management experiment to assess the potential benefits of commercial thinning and to monitor its effects on winter habitat use by multiple mammalian species, using indirect evidence (snow tracking). This program was known as the Commercial Thinning Winter Tracking Project (CTWTP). Track surveys are well suited to investigate habitat use, because transects can be restricted to specific habitat types and individual tracks can often indicate behaviour based on gait, movement pattern and other signs associated with the tracks. Differences in the frequency of track occurrence among habitat types can also indicate habitat preference. The CTWTP surveyed mammal track occurrence over 7 years on 30 transects within the 1695 ha Tom Hill study site southwest of Whitecourt, Alberta. Transects were located in one of four forest types: aspen dominated, black spruce dominated, reference lodgepole pine, and treatment (thinned) lodgepole pine. ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests were used to identify differences in mammal track occurrence among the three unthinned forest types and between the reference and treatment pine forest types. Moose and weasels were most common in black spruce. Snowshoe hare were most common in reference lodgepole pine.

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.
