Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Certain plants, notably legumes, fix their own atmospheric nitrogen through symbiotic relationships with specialized diazotrophic bacteria such as rhizobia.

The analysis

The claim is specific, empirical, and well-supported by multiple retrieved papers detailing the symbiotic nitrogen fixation process between plants (such as legumes) and diazotrophic rhizobia bacteria.
