Time-series shotgun metagenomes of straw-associated and soil microbial communities from two cropland sites in the North China Plain
This BioProject includes shotgun metagenomic data from a 180-day field decomposition experiment at two representative cropland sites (QZ and DY) in the North China Plain, China. The experiment compared maize straw alone and maize straw co-amended with yeast-derived simulative microbial residues. Samples were collected from straw-associated and soil compartments during decomposition to characterize taxonomic and functional shifts in microbial communities across treatments and time.
