Study on relationship between genomic trait-based strategies and CO2 emissions in forest soils

Here, the study was conducted in ten forests ecosystems along the latitudinal transect in China. We use the shotgun metagenomic sequencing to obtain sufficient DNA data and functions of microorganism. Using the real-time PCR of the 16S rRNA and fungal ITS-1 genes to access the microbial taxonomy abundance. This study examined the cumulative CO2 emissions, and their relationships with soil properties, microbial communities, microbial life-history traits, and functional genes.
