Comparative Analysis of Rhizosphere and Bulk Soil Microbial Communities in Continuous vs. Non-continuous Sugar Beet Cropping Systems in Inner Mongolia

This project investigates the impact of continuous sugar beet cropping on soil physicochemical properties and microbial community structure in the Hetao Irrigation District of Inner Mongolia, China. We compared rhizosphere and bulk soil samples from fields with long-term continuous sugar beet cultivation (8 years) and adjacent non-continuous rotation fields. Data include 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing for bacteria/archaea and ITS sequencing for fungi, complemented by soil chemical analyses (pH, organic matter, nutrient levels) and physical property measurements.
