Inventory of soil prokaryotic microbiome (via 16S based on rRNA gene amplicons) in freshwater and brackish water marshes following saltwater intrusion along Shark River Slough boundary, Everglades National Park (FCE LTER), Florida, USA, September 2018

Global sea-level rise is transforming coastal ecosystems, especially freshwater wetlands, in part due to increased episodic or chronic saltwater exposure, leading to shifts in microbial communities and related ecological services. Soil prokaryotes play a fundamental role in regulating important biogeochemical processes in coastal wetland ecosystem. Yet, it is still difficult to predict how soil prokaryotic communities respond to the saltwater exposure because of poorly understood prokaryotic sensitivity within complex wetland soil microbial communities, as well as the high heterogeneity of wetland soils and saltwater exposure. To address this, a four-year experimental simulation of saltwater intrusion in a pristine freshwater site and a previously saltwater-impacted site was conducted. The saltwater addition started in October 2014 on a monthly basis and continued through October 2018. The dataset contains amplicon sequencing date of 16S rRNA gene obtained from saltwater-exposed soils and unmanipulated native soils in both sites (collected in September 2018). The 2018 data are published in Zhao et al. 2023. A detailed list of sequence data and their accession numbers in GenBank is provided, and data collection is complete.
