Metagenomic insights into the primary microbial succession on young volcanic deposits in the island of Miyake, Japan
The purpose of this study is understanding of how and why occurs the microbial succession in primarily soil formation. We focused on young volcanic ash deposits, and analyzed the microbial community of unvegetated 3.5-, 6.6-, 9.5-year-old deposits, a sparsely grass-covered 8.9-year-old deposit, and a forest soil of >800-year-old in the Island of Miyake, Japan, using metagenomic approach.
