Eucalyptus-legume mixed plantation soil metagenome Metagenome
This project investigates how companion legume species identity, soil compartment, and season influence soil microbial functional potential related to nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in Eucalyptus plantations in Guangxi, China. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was conducted on 66 soil samples collected during the wet and dry seasons from pure Eucalyptus plantations and Eucalyptus plantations mixed with Acacia melanoxylon, Albizia odoratissima, or Dalbergia cochinchinensis. The samples represented bulk soil, Eucalyptus rhizosphere soil, and legume rhizosphere soil, as applicable. These data were generated to characterize microbial functional profiles and their associations with soil nitrogen and phosphorus availability across plantation types, soil compartments, and seasons.
