Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of soil microbial communities under agricultural management practices in Northeast China black soils
This project investigates the functional responses of soil microbial communities to agricultural management practices in the black soil region of Northeast China. Soil samples from maize and rice fields under different agronomic practices were analyzed using shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterize microbial functional potentials. The obtained metagenomic data were used to explore microbial genes involved in carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling and to evaluate how spatial heterogeneity regulates microbial functional responses to agricultural management.
