Soil metagenome Raw sequence reads
To parse effects of interseeding cover crops and soil N status on bacterial composition, we used high throughput 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene amplicon sequencing to examine the taxonomic profiles of bulk soil under each treatment in the fall (December 2017) and spring (June 2018). This factorial field experiment included three CC treatments (interseeded ryegrass, post-harvest seeded cereal rye, and no CC), two rates of fertilizer application, and corn harvested for grain and silage in an organically managed cropping system.
