Narrative
The objectives of this collection trip were: 1) collect wild cultivated species growing in acidic soil and associated Rhizobium species; 2) collect endemic wild species and associated Rhizobium species; 3) visit and assess extent of in situ conservationof native forage legume species in the Teberda Reserve and Caucasus State Biosphere Reserve. These areas were ecogeographically surveyed using GIS prior to the trip and used to select sites that would be visited. In addition to on-site description, the following map-based information was obtained from the survey: mean monthly rainfall, mean min. and max. monthly temp., mean monthly humidity, wind speed, elevation (cross check), aspect, slope (cross check), 2 vegetation classifications.
