Soil  microbial communities of the Coastal Wetland Trophic Restoration Experiment
Soil microbial communities were determined from 32 soil samples collected in September 2021 from the Coastal Wetland Trophic Restoration Experiment in Chongming Dongtan, Shanghai, China. The experiment had four treatments: i) natural recovery + shorebird control, ii) planting + shorebird control, iii) planting + shorebird exclusion, and iv) planting + high predation simulation. Each of the four treatments was replicated in eight plots. Soil samples were collected from those plots and tested for soil microbes.
