Soil fungal, bacterial and metazoan communities across the MycoPhylo experiment revealed by ITS, 16S rRNA and COI amplicon sequencing
This study investigates soil microbial and metazoan communities associated with the MycoPhylo tree diversity experiment. Soil DNA was extracted from experimental plots and amplicon sequencing was performed targeting the fungal ITS region, bacterial 16S rRNA gene and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI). Fungal ITS amplicons were sequenced using the PacBio Sequel platform, whereas bacterial 16S and COI amplicons were sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. The dataset was generated to characterize belowground biodiversity and evaluate the effects of tree species composition and mycorrhizal type on soil biotic communities.
