Use of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-directed metagenomic analysis for the evaluation of the soil microbial diversity, dynamics and community function.
In soils, bacteria are very abundant and diverse. They are involved in various agro-ecosystem processes such as the nitrogen cycle, organic matter degradation, and soil formation. Yet little is known
Characterize the response of soil bacterial diversity to fallow period length and to thola; and to evaluate the frequency of bacterial taxa overall, and their response to fallow length and to thola. B
