Legumes of the Koffler Scientific Reserve and Their Rhizobia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this document, we have consolidated information on the legumes of the Koffler Scientific Reserve (KSR, the University of Toronto’s biological research station, 44° 01' N, 79° 31' W; King Township, ON, Canada) and their associated rhizobia. The list of associated rhizobia was originally compiled in 2020 by J. Wang under the supervision of J.R. Stinchcombe, J.A. Boyle, and T.L. Harrison, and previously has been distributed via the field station website. The structure of the document is as follows. For each of 17 legume species found at KSR, as determined by the KSR plant species list (193), we provide: Latin binomial, common name, links to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), and then to any online collections of the species at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). Photographs, native or invasive status, annual or perennial habit, and flowering times are also provided. Photographic images were obtained from iNaturalist images with CC0 licenses (copyright restrictions removed). Images of species should not be considered definitive and are provided only for aid in identification. The legume species described in this document are all capable of forming symbiotic relationships with rhizobia, a group of nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria. Rhizobia colonize plant roots and induce the formation of nodules within which they convert atmospheric nitrogen into a plant usable form, receiving nutrients from the host plant in return. For each plant species, we searched the literature to determine their symbiotic rhizobial partners and a qualitative evaluation of rhizobia strain effectiveness. Strain effectiveness was qualitatively scored based on the description of rhizobia activity in root nodule formation and nitrogen fixation. The scoring is as follows: NA = Not described; 0 = Nodulating, fixation not described; 1 = Ineffective (nodulating, fix-); 2 = Partially effective (fix±); 3 = Very effective (fix+). One important thing to note is that these are rhizobial species known to associate with the plant species, as reported in the literature, rather than as documented at KSR The list is provided to facilitate studies on plant-microbe interactions, mutualism ecology and evolution, plant-microbiome studies, and other areas of evolutionary ecology.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
