Study Site: Mer Bleue bog, Canada
Purpose: Anthropogenically elevated inputs of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) can affect the carbon (C) budget of nutrient-poor peatlands. Fungi are intimately tied to peatland C budgets due to their roles in organic matter decomposition and symbioses with primary producers; however the influence of fertilization on peatland fungal composition and diversity remains unclear. Here we examined the effect of fertilization over 10-yrs on fungal diversity, composition, and functional guilds along an acrotelm (10-20 cm), mesotelm (30-40 cm), and catotelm (60-70 cm) depth gradient at the Mer Bleue bog, Canada.
Abstract: This dataset contains two tabs. The first (“Ancillary_data”) contains the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) experiment identifier for each sample and the ancillary data for the hierarchical partitioning analysis. The second (“OTU_table_w_annotations”) contains the rarefied OTU table and the putative functional annotations based the taxonomic levels of each OTU. Fungal OTUs were finally assigned to putative functional guilds using FUNGuild and FungalTraits, and the assignments were refined, if necessary, based on literature searches and our expertise in fungal ecology in peatlands.
