Data to the paper "Strong large-scale structure-function coupling in benthic bacteria is mediated by algae in a geodiverse river network"

ASV_rr250_230: ASVs produced by the DADA2 pipeline in R. To improve comparability, samples with small library sizes (<1000 reads per sample) were excluded from the analysis and the remaining samples (n=28) were rarified to the lowest number of reads per sample (3435) to account for different sequencing efforts.Mastersheet_Vjosa_figshare: Contains all data about DOM, enzyme activity, spatial variables, and water chemistry used in this study.PC_algae: Contains the principal components of the algal community composition used in the variation partitioning in this study.
