Council, Alaska soil samples collected in 2011 to investigate bacterial community structure. Seventy samples were taken at 25-meter intervals from two depth ranges (0–10 cm and 10–20 cm). Bacterial 16S pyrosequencing was performed by AMD_KOPRI.
Use Cases
- Model bacterial community composition based on soil depth
- Analyze spatial distribution of microbes based on 25-meter sampling intervals
- Investigate relationships between soil properties and bacterial structure
Strengths
- 70 soil samples provide a substantial spatial dataset
- Two distinct depth ranges (0–10 cm and 10–20 cm) allow for vertical analysis
- Sampling at 25-meter intervals suggests structured spatial coverage
Limitations
- Last updated 2011-08-20 23:59:59.999000; freshness should be verified
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
