Soil of the three Ulmus chenmoui Cheng sites Raw sequence reads

Despite the importance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) within deciduous forest ecosystems, we know little about how natural AMF communities are structured in the root zone of Ulmus chenmoui Cheng. In this study, three U. chenmoui sampling sites, differing with respect to plant health, age and growth status, were selected in Anhui Province, China. AMF biodiversity in the root zones of individual U. chenmoui trees was investigated using high-throughput sequencing. In total, 108 AMF operational taxonomic units were detected.
