Environmental sample containing protistan community from maize farmland soil in the black soil region of Northeast China. Raw sequence reads

This project employs Illumina MiSeq sequencing to investigate the spatial distribution patterns and driving factors of protistan communities in the valuable black soil region of Northeast China. We systematically collected 260 soil samples from maize farmlands across Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning provinces. The study aims to characterize the diversity, biomass, and composition of protistan communities along latitudinal and longitudinal gradients.
