Microbiome of initial leaves and needles of 12 temperate tree species raw sequence reads. Fungi associated with initial leaves and needles of 12 temperate tree species

We investigated senescing leaf/needle-associated microorganisms of 12 temperate tree species in Central Europe forests using bacterial 16S- and fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-based amplicon sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq sequencing platform.
