We used a biodiversity manipulation experiment that has been running for 19 years across a chronosequence consisting of 30 forested islands in two adjacent lakes in the boreal zone of northern Sweden
This experiment involves a full factorial combination of three different plant functional group removals (8 treatments in total) i.e., tree root removal (performed by root trenching), ericaceous shrub removal (performed manually), and feather moss removal (performed manually)
This dataset includes five sheets:
PLFA = Measure of PLFA markers + bacterial and fungal biomasses (nmol g-1)
Nematode = Nematode biomass (ind g-1) and trophic community composition
Metabarcoding= OTU count
FungalAssignation = Assignation of eah OTU to a fungal guild
EnvVar = Plant biomass and soil abiotic factors + outputs variables (i.e., decomposition rates + SIR + NMR)
All the details are provided in the sheet "Information"
