Standardised counts of bacteria, fungi and micro eukaryotes abundances across geo-linked sampling locations on grassland, UK (2016)

The data consist of standardised counts of taxon abundances (bacteria, fungi and micro eukaryotes) from soil samples collected from paired intensive and extensive grassland systems, including low and high pH parent soils, from 32 sites across the United Kingdom. The samples were collected during winter and spring 2015-2016 from sites across the UK. DNA were extracted and taxonomic marker genes assessed using high-throughput DNA sequencing techniques to yield information about the genetic diversity and abundance of the microorganisms therein. The data were collected to help understand soil functional change in a variety of management and climatic scenarios as part of NERC U-GRASS (Understanding and enhancing soil ecosystem services and resilience in UK grass and croplands) award (NERC Reference NE/M017125/1) part of the NERC Soil Security Programme.

本数据集包含了从英国32个地点采集的成对密集型和广泛型草地系统的土壤样本中，针对细菌、真菌及微型真核生物的标准化丰度计数（包括低pH和高pH的母质土壤）。样本收集于2015-2016年的冬季和春季。通过高通量DNA测序技术提取DNA，并评估分类学标记基因，以获得其中微生物的遗传多样性和丰度信息。数据收集旨在协助理解在不同管理和气候情景下土壤功能的变迁，作为NERC U-GRASS（理解和提升英国草地和农田土壤生态系统服务与韧性的研究项目，NERC参考编号NE/M017125/1）及NERC土壤安全计划的一部分。关于本数据集的详细信息可查阅https://doi.org/10.5285/11bc98b8-5f2b-4a25-804c-16010052cdb7。
