Microbial Diversity of Central European Forests
Metabarcoding of bacterial 16S, algal ITS2 and fungal ITS2 amplicons, to determine the microbial diversity on the bark of trees and in soil below trees in the Biodiversity Exploratories (https://www.biodiversity-exploratories.de/en/). The goal is to clarify diversity, interactions and changes, of tree bark and soil microbiomes, along environmental gradients.
