Metagenomic profiling of wetland soils across contrasting hydrological regimes in the Dongting Lake floodplain
This BioProject contains Illumina paired-end metagenomic sequencing data from 0-200 cm soil profiles collected from the western Dongting Lake floodplain wetlands, China. Samples were collected in November 2024 from a permanently inundated site (DLFZ) and a seasonally inundated site (TYC). The project aims to investigate how contrasting hydrological regimes and soil depth shape microbial community composition and functional potential, with particular emphasis on microbial necromass carbon accumulation and the underlying microbial life history strategies.
