Dataset associated with the manuscript: “Divergent belowground allocation patterns of winter wheat shape rhizosphere microbial communities and nitrogen cycling activities”

Purpose and scope: The purpose of this research was to investigate the role of wheat root exudation/rhizodeposition on the cycling and availability of added plant residue nitrogen. The purpose of this dataset is to provide the raw data collected from the experiment. This dataset includes biogeochemical values, mainly soil and plant carbon and nitrogen concentrations. Time period: This dataset deals with the data from one greenhouse experiment conducted in the spring of 2018. The experiment lasted ~ 50 days, and the data provided here was collected from destructive sampling of the experimental pots at the completion of the experiment. Areas of Investigation: Plant biomass, nitrogen cycling, enzyme activities, stable isotopes, biogeochemistry, exudation, soil organic matter priming, crop nutrition, root architecture, exudation, microbial biomass carbon, soil carbon, inorganic nitrogen, residue decomposition, nitrogen cycling, belowground plant carbon allocation.
