Abstract
Summary Forest rings are 50–1600 m diameter circular structures found in boreal forests around the globe. They are believed to be chemically reducing chimney features, having an accumulation of reduced species in the middle of the ring and oxidation processes occurring at the ring's edges. It has been suggested that microorganisms could be responsible for charge transfer from the inside to the outside of the ring. To explore this, we focused on the changes in bacterial and archaeal communities in the ring edges of two forest rings, the ‘Bean’ and the ‘Thorn North’ ring, in proximity to each other in Ontario, Canada. The drier samples from the methane‐sourced Bean ring were characterized by the abundance of bacteria from the classes Deltaproteobacteria and Gemmatimonadetes. Geobacter spp. and methanotrophs, such as Candidatus Methylomirabilis and Methylobacter , were highly abundant in these samples. The Thorn North ring, centred on an H 2 S accumulation in groundwater, had wetter samples and its communities were dominated by the classes Alphaproteobacteria and Anaerolineae. This ring's microbial communities showed an overall higher microbial diversity supported by higher available free energy. For both rings, the species diversity was highest near the borders of the 20–30 m broad ring edges.

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 it
