Data from: Diversity and structural variability of bacterial microbial communities in rhizocompartments of desert leguminous plants

By assessing diversity variations of bacterial communities under different rhizocompartment types (i.e., roots, rhizosphere soil, root zone soil, and inter-shrub bulk soil), we explore the structural variability of bacterial communities in different root microenvironments under desert leguminous plant shrubs. 16S rRNA high-throughput genome sequencing was used to characterise the bacterial diversity in the rhizocompartments of three xeric leguminous plants (Caragana microphylla, Hedysarum scoparium, and Hedysarum mongolicum) in the Mu Us Desert.
