title: ITS Seqences  of woody rhizosphere-associated fungal communities in Abitibi mining site, Canada
design: Total genomic DNA was extracted from woody rhizosphere soils. 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.
