The more important impact of bacterial diversity on ecosystem functions compared to network complexity: Insights from an experimental manipulation study

Our study aims to assess and compare the extent to which bacterial diversity and network complexity affect ecosystem function at different organic matter content. The data show that microbial diversity has been playing an important role in maintaining ecosystem function in all soil samples, and the effects of network complexity on ecosystem function may vary significantly with changes in soil environment. The dataset includes microbiome data (abundance and diversity), various ecosystem function indicators, R language programs used, and images generated during the analysis.
