MICROSERVICES: Cropping system modulates the effect of drought on ammonia-oxidizing communities (amoA Gene Raw Sequences of Comammox)

This study is a part of work packages of the MICROSERVICES project in predicting the impact of global climate change on soil biodiversity and ecosystem services. The focus of this study is to investigate the effect of drought simulated by rain-out shelter experiment on ammonia-oxidizing (AO) communities in the long-term DOK wheat field trial comparing between BIODYNAMIC, CONFYM (mixed-conventional), and CONMIN (mineral) cropping systems. We performed ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), archaea (AOA), and complete ammonia-oxidizers (comammox Nitrospira) assessment by sequencing their amoA genes using illumina MiSeq.
