The biological contribution to the weathering of limestone monuments in a vegetated urban area: results of a 5-year exposure

This database includes all FASTQ files for bacterial  and fungal communities using Next Generation Sequencing Illumina 16S for bacteria (V3-V5) and ITS for fungi (ITS1)  collected from limestone specimens from the Père-Lachaise cemetery (Paris, France) exposed for five years under different conditions: sheltered from or exposed to rain and in horizontal or vertical position.  A txt file explaining the date and method of sampling,  and the GPS coordinates was uploaded too. You can find more details in the publication :
