BFNE4
This study aimed to identify the microbial sources of litter in forest ecosystems. Samples were collected from *F. mandshurica* and *P. koraiensis* to investigate bacterial communities potentially contributing to litter microbial composition. The 16S rRNA gene was amplified using specific primers and sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq platform with paired-end reads (2  343 bp). These data will be used to trace the microbial sources of litter within these ecosystems.
