Soil microbial community consisting of bacteria and fungi Raw sequence reads
This project examines soil bacterial and fungal community responses to long-term (22 years) intensive ornamental planting at China National Botanical Garden. Using amplicon sequencing, we compared disturbed horticultural soils (tulip-summer annual-chrysanthemum succession) with low-disturbance lawn-tree soils. The study aims to elucidate how chronic urban management affects microbial community assembly, co-occurrence networks, and relationships with soil properties and enzyme activities, providing insights into belowground ecological processes in urban ecosystems.
