soil Metagenome
Metagenomic samples from a study of microbial community dynamics in eroded red soils derived from granite (in Xingguo County, Ganzhou) and Quaternary red clay (in Taihe County, Ji'an) parent materials, Jiangxi Province, China. The sample set represents a vegetation restoration chronosequence, including plots restored for 5, 20, and 40 years on granite and 15 and 25 years on Quaternary red clay, alongside control plots (severely eroded land without restoration and undisturbed secondary forests).
