Metagenome assembled genomes from Canadian agricultural soils

The Canadian prairie is a large semi-arid steppe landscape, cover 55 M acres of Western Canada. Agricultural management practices are likely to alter carbon dynamics in these soils, which may have important interactions with the soil microbial community. We hypothesize that regenerative agricultural practices will favor microbial communities with greater diversity in taxonomy and function. In this study, we inverstigate the impacts of agricultural management practices on soil microbial community composition and function using high throughput sequencing down to a depth of 1 meter. This repository contains metagenome assembled genomes from 43 metagenomes.

加拿大草原是一片广袤的半干旱草原景观，覆盖加拿大西部5500万英亩的土地。农业管理措施可能会改变这类土壤的碳动态过程，而该过程可能与土壤微生物群落存在重要的相互作用。我们提出假说：再生农业管理措施将更有利于形成分类学与功能多样性更高的微生物群落。本研究采用高通量测序（high throughput sequencing）技术，对深度达1米的土壤样本进行分析，探究农业管理措施对土壤微生物群落组成与功能的影响。本数据集包含来自43个宏基因组（metagenome）的宏基因组组装基因组（metagenome assembled genomes）。
