Soil Biodiversity, Bioplatforms Australia - South East Queensland Peri-urban SuperSite, 2013
The Biome of Australian Soil Environments project used amplicon (bacterial 16S, archael 16S, fungal ITS and bacterial 18S) and shotgun metagenomics sequencing approaches to assess soil biodiversity across Australia. SuperSites provided soil samples for sequencing and contextual data.
Sample collection procedure, amplicon methods and OTU pipelines are available at http://www.bioplatforms.com/soil-biodiversity/
