Lignocellulose associated salt marsh microbiome enrichment on spartina anglica biomass for 16 weeks.

Spartina anglica lignocellulosic biomass was placed in a natural salt marsh (Welwick, Humber, UK) and allowed to decompose for 16 weeks. During weeks 1-6, 8, 10 and 16, biomass was harvested and phylogenetic metabarcoding was conducted. Five biological replicates (delineated A, B, C, D and E) were placed along a 300m transect. A day 0 sedimentary outgroup was included for a total of 46 datasets (5 replicates, 9 timepoints, 1 day 0).

将大米草（Spartina anglica）木质纤维素生物质置于英国亨伯（Humber）河畔韦尔威克（Welwick）的天然盐沼中，开展为期16周的自然腐解实验。在第1至6周、第8、10及第16周采集生物质样品，并进行系统发育元条形码（metabarcoding）分析。沿300米样带设置5个生物学重复（编号为A、B、C、D、E），同时纳入第0天沉积物外类群样本，最终共获得46套数据集（5个生物学重复×9个采样时间点+1个第0天样本）。
