Effects of plant species identity and water availability on soil fungal communities

We conducted a greenhouse experiment to test how plant species identity and water availability influenced soil fungal communities. The data include ITS amplicon data for fungal communities for 8 plant species grown in 3 water treatments (high, medium, low). Plants and soils are characteristic of the Texas Coastal Prairie. Additional samples contain sequences for the background soil, the soil slurry that was used as starter inoculum for the pots, and pots that did not contain plants.

本研究开展了一项温室试验，以探究植物物种种类与水分可利用性如何影响土壤真菌群落。本数据集包含8种植物在3种水分处理（高、中、低）下的真菌群落ITS扩增子（ITS amplicon）数据。供试植物与土壤均具有德克萨斯海岸草原（Texas Coastal Prairie）的典型特征。额外样本涵盖背景土壤、用作盆栽起始接种物的土壤悬液，以及未种植植物的盆栽的测序序列。
