Effects of plant functional group removal on structure and function of soil communities across contrasting ecosystems

We used a biodiversity manipulation experiment that has been running for 19 years across a chronosequence consisting of 30 forested islands in two adjacent lakes in the boreal zone of northern Sweden This experiment involves a full factorial combination of three different plant functional group removals (8 treatments in total) i.e., tree root removal (performed by root trenching), ericaceous shrub removal (performed manually), and feather moss removal (performed manually) This dataset includes five sheets: PLFA = Measure of PLFA markers + bacterial and fungal biomasses (nmol g-1) Nematode = Nematode biomass (ind g-1) and trophic community composition Metabarcoding= OTU count FungalAssignation = Assignation of eah OTU to a fungal guild EnvVar = Plant biomass and soil abiotic factors + outputs variables (i.e., decomposition rates + SIR + NMR) All the details are provided in the sheet Information
