Bacterial communties of monoculture and rotational soils in Wisconsin

In this study, the contribution of the bulk soil bacterial community on the corn (Zea mays) and soybean (Glycine max) crop rotation effect was evaluated in a South-Central Wisconsin no-tillage system over the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons. Soil bacterial communities of long-term continuous corn and soybean monocultures, annual corn-soybean rotations, and five-year corn-soybean short-term monocultures were evaluated before planting, at midseason, and at harvest. These sequences are the raw reads from the three Illumina Miseq run that were conducted for this study.
