title: ITS Seqences  of Salix sp. root-associated fungal communities in Schefferville mining site, Canada
design: Total genomic DNA was extracted from Salix sp. roots. Amplification of the ITS regions was performed using a PCR approach specifically designed for Illumina instruments. The PCR reaction was purified and barcoded amplicons were pooled in equimolar concentration for sequencing on the illumina Miseq platform.
