Sample Data

Amplicon sequence data for 16S rRNA genes, the fungal ITS2 region, and nitrogen-cycling functional genes are available through the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under accession number PRJNA1042643 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA1042643 ). Raw metabolomic data are available on Metabolomics Workbench, Project ID: PR002654. This study is available at the NIH Common Fund’s National Metabolomics Data Repository (NMDR) website, the Metabolomics Workbench, https://www.metabolomicsworkbench.org where it has been assigned Study ID ST004211. The data can be accessed directly via its Project DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.21228/M8KV8T.
