soil metagenome
Soil samples were collected from the habitat of the golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) in Baihe National Nature Reserve to compare wild and human-disturbed areas. At 11 randomly located sampling points, soil was obtained from depths of 5-20 cm. The samples were sieved through a 2 mm mesh to remove roots, rock fragments, and other litter, resulting in a total of 22 processed soil samples.
