Presence of non-native vascular flora in Prince Edward Island's remnant Acadian forest
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The upland hardwood component of Prince Edward Island's Acadian forest is among the best remaining examples of PEI's pre-colonial landscape, but there has been no assessment of the presence of exotic species in these areas. Three 300 metre long edge to interior transects were established in each of six Acadian forest study areas. Nine 100 m2 circular plots were sampled along each transect at distances from 5.7 to 300 metres; one external plot was established at each transect to sample species in adjacent (non forest) habitats. In each plot, all vascular plants were identified, a visual estimate of percent cover was made, and soil temperature, canopy cover and tree diameters were measured. The results show that there is an edge-to-interior plant community gradient within these forests, and suggest that interior conditions are not reached until a distance of more than 120 metres from an edge.

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.
