Basketgrass soil microbiomes

These sequences were generated to study the impact of wavyleaf basketgrass (Oplismenus undulatifolius) invasion on soil microbial communities in mid-Atlantic forests. Amplicons of 16S and ITS2 regions were sequenced from replicated samples collected at heavily invaded plots and nearby non-invaded plots across Virginia and Maryland (USA). Plant invasions can reshape indigenous microbial populations, potentially affecting nutrient cycling processes and native plant communities.本数据集的序列均为研究大西洋中部森林内波浪叶竹节草（wavyleaf basketgrass，Oplismenus undulatifolius）入侵对土壤微生物群落的影响而生成。研究人员从美国弗吉尼亚州与马里兰州范围内的重度入侵样地及邻近未入侵对照样地采集重复样本，对样本中16S与ITS2区域的扩增子进行测序。植物入侵可重塑本土微生物种群，进而可能影响养分循环过程与本土植物群落。
