Effects of mustard invasions on soil microbial abundances and fungal assemblages at the Robert J. Bernard Field Station, Bonelli Park, and the Voorhis Reserve

Data is associated with a manuscript titled "Effects of mustard invasions on soil microbial abundances and fungal assemblages in southern California" set to be published in the journal "Diversity" in January 2023.Briefly, this project aimed to better understand how mustard invasions, primarily the short-pod mustard, Hirschfeldia incana, impact soil microbial assemblages. We examined microbial abundance and assemblages from intact CSS and adjacent mustard dominated soils at three sites. We also explored if germination rates for various plant species differed between CSS and mustard soils.Data sets provided her provide the ecological data associated from this project that cannot be directly extracted from the manuscript. Genetic ASV data can be obtained from GenBank (BioProject PRJNA891695).
