Stordalen Mire mire-wide survey: Microbial sample metadata

Stordalen Mire sample metadata from a mire-wide survey (2015) and co-analyzed autochamber site samples (2014-2015). These samples were analyzed by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, and the 16S data is available under NCBI BioProject PRJNA1236848.

Column descriptions for this metadata file:

The first 4 columns (sample_name, SRA library_ID, SRA accession, BioSample) include sample & library names and accessions in NCBI. The sample_name column also matches the SampleID__ attribute in the EMERGE Database (EMERGE-DB; https://emerge-db.asc.ohio-state.edu/).

The next 7 columns (SampleID, Habitat, Depth, Description, Source, Site, Origin) are the metadata used for the 16S data analysis (results available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15047596 and https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15047715).

The final 9 columns (Latitude, Longitude, Date, Full Site Name, Core #, DepthMin (cm), DepthMax (cm), DepthAvg (cm), pH_porewater) provide other metadata, including latitude/longitude, sampling dates, full site and core names, depths, and porewater pH, standardized to match the nomenclature in the EMERGE-DB.
