Abstract

Many modern farming practices negatively impact ecosystems on the local and global scales. Here, we assessed the taxonomic structures of 48 soil microbial communities along an agricultural transect using 16S rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) amplicon sequencing. We further characterized the functional structures of a subsample of 12 microbiomes using whole-genome sequencing.
