soil metagenome
we investigated the effects of extending winter rainfall into the normally dry summer period on soil microbial response to a controlled rewetting event, by following the present (DNA-based) and potentially active (rRNA-based) soil bacterial and fungal communities in intact soil cores (from a California annual grassland) previously subjected to three different precipitation patterns over four months (full summer dry season, extended wet season, absent dry season). Phylogenetic marker genes for bacteria and fungi were sequenced before and after rewetting.
