Soil Microbial and N cycling data along a wetland plant community gradient

This dataset contains soil chemical and microbial data taken from surface soil cores (15cm) from the Black Spruce, Willow/Birch, Tussock, Emergent Fen, and Rich Fen plant communities along the APEX boardwalk. Data include DOC, soil C, potential nitrification, potential denitrification, soil DNA concentration, water content, ammonium concentration, nitrate concentration, archaea abundance, NirK functional gene abundance, ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) abundance, ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) abundance, NosZ functional gene abundance, and eubacteria abundance.
