Soil fungal (ITS) communities from 10 grassland plots in Germany (2015-2018; Illumina MiSeq) - OTU taxonomic function look-up table (subset of dataset 25426)

Cooperation between the BE projects SADE, Scalemic, Microorganisms (core): Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) underlying grassland plant richness and productivity are typically coupled with nutrient availability; however, we lack understanding of how restoration measures to increase plant diversity might affect PSFs. We examined the roles of sward disturbance, seed addition and land-use intensity (LUI) on PSFs. We conducted a disturbance and seed addition experiment in ten grasslands along a LUI gradient and characterized plant biomass and richness, soil microbial biomass, community composition and enzyme activities. This dataset contains the taxonomic look up table for fungal community composition of the years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 on 10 selected SADE plots in the Schwäbische Alb. This is a subset of dataset 25426 made as accompanying data for the article "Microbial drivers of plant richness and productivity in a grassland restoration experiment along a gradient of land-use intensity" published in New Phytologist.
