Epilithic nitrogen fixation in the rocky littoral zones of Lake Malawi, Africa
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rates of epilithic N2 fixation in the rocky littoral zones of Lake Malawi, determined by in situ incubations and the acetylene reduction method, declined with depth, were highly correlated to light intensity and heterocyst biovolume, and are among the highest observed values for freshwater or marine systems. Daytime N2 fixation rates were similar between sites at similar depths, except at sediment and nutrient impacted sites, where rates were lower and more variable. Daytime N2 fixation rates were measurable in all transparent chambers and were negligible in opaque chambers, which indicates that phototrophic diazotrophs (organisms capable of utilizing atmospheric nitrogen) were responsible for all day‐time N2 fixation. Nocturnal N2 fixation was ~60% of daytime fixation. A model that integrated N2 fixation over depth and time predicted that epilithic N2 fixation may contribute up to 35% of N inputs to the epilimnion of Lake Malawi.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
