ITS2 inferred fungal communities associated with Castanea dentata, Castanea mollissima, their hybrids and Quercus alba

We used ITS2 metabarcode sequencing to identify how Castanea dentata, Castanea mollissima, their hybrids and Quercus alba affect soil-inhabiting fungal communities. Using samples before and three years after planting, we aimed to understand the shift of the communities after planting. These data will permit an improved understanding of how hybrid crosses may differ in their impacts on soil communities from native and non-native hosts.

本研究采用ITS2 元条形码测序（ITS2 metabarcode sequencing）技术，解析美洲栗（Castanea dentata）、中国板栗（Castanea mollissima）、二者杂交种以及白栎（Quercus alba）对土壤栖息真菌群落的影响。本研究采集宿主定植前及定植三年后的土壤样本，旨在阐明定植后土壤真菌群落的动态变化。本数据集将助力更深入理解杂交种与本土、外来宿主对土壤群落的影响差异。
