Description:

This Zenodo deposit contains the following files:

• “Metadata & data” spreadsheet. Contains metadata and data about the Twin Valley experiment (including the position of plants, an intermediary census, growth and nodulation traits for harvested plants, data on bacterial isolates from root nodules, and source modifiers for GenBank accessions OQ732394-OQ732572).

• “Blast alignments output.txt” text file. Contains ouput of Blastn alignements for the 16S rRNA genes of bacterial isolates against the rRNA_typestrains/16S_ribosomal_RNA 16S ribosomal RNA (Bacteria and Archaea type strains) database, to determine the genus as recommended by GenBank during sequence submission.

• “General script.R”. R script of the general statistical analyses produced for publication.

• “General environment.RData”. The companion RData (environment) of the above R script.

• “Trait model script.R”. R script of the plant trait models produced for publication

• “Trait model environment.RData”. The companion RData (environment) of the above R script.

We thank members of the Healthy Prairies project (Shelby Flint, Anna Peschel, Bill Peterson) who provided much of infrastructure with which this project was possible, as well as help in setting up field experiments. We also thank volunteer undergrads from University of Minnesota Morris (Amelia Nelson, Emily Job, Lily Fulton) for assistance in measuring harvested plants and counting nodules. Funding was obtained from MN LCCMR (Project 00086965, Healthy Prairies).
