Metagenome sequencing data of the sediment from barren area and Suaeda salsa-covered area in Liaohe Estuary intertidal flat wetland
The sediment samples were collected from the intertidal flat wetland located in Liaohe Estuary. Coordinates of barren area and Suaeda salsa-covered area were Liaohe Estuary. Water depths at the highest tide level were around 107 cm for barren area and 95 cm for S. salsa-covered area . The distance between these two sampling sites was around 10 km. The sampling time was at around 12 pm on 23 April 2017. Five-point method was used to collect soils 10 cm underneath the soil surface.
