title: 16S rRNA gene amplicon data from coastal soils (upland to wetland) in Chesapeake and Erie
design: DNA extractions were completed using the Zymobiomics 96 Magbead DNA kit for the Chesapeake samples, and the Zymo soil fecal DNA isolation kit for the Erie samples. For both sets, the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified using the 515F and 806R primers. Negative controls for extractions were sequenced similar to the true samples. PCR negative controls were also used.
