MGnify (2020). Response of soil bacteria to anthropogenic soil variables at large spatial scales. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/goblzl accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-10-04.Description
We sought to determine the relative influences of spatial and environmental factors on entire bacterial communities and individual taxa, in both natural and human-impacted soils in the upper North Island of New Zealand. We conducted 16S rRNA (v3-v4 region) amplicon sequencing on soil samples from 110 native forests, plantation forest, horticultural or pastoral sites, which constitute the dominant land uses within temperate climate zones. These sites were located between 5 m and 300 km apart. This bacterial data was paired with extensive site metadata to determine which environmental variables were correlated with changes in bacterial community composition as a whole, as well as with changes in the abundance of specific taxa.Sampling Description
