Rhizosphere microbiota of Suaeda
The rhizosphere soil samples were collected from an intertidal zone of Shuangtaizi River Estuary, located in Liaoning Liaohekou National Nature Reserve of China. Parallel sampling was undertaken in triplicate during each of the four seasons: spring (S1; May 5, 2018), summer (S2; July 15, 2018), autumn (S3; September 23, 2018) and winter (S4; December 7, 2018), and the seasonal variations in the rhizosphere microbiota of Suaeda were evaluated based on the high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA amplicons.
