Full description
We analysed a total of 3,002,411 quality-filtered bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences in the 48 technical replicates across the 8 revegetation chronosequence sites, consisting of 3,316 OTUs. Nine bacterial phyla dominated our dataset, including Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Gemmatimonadetes, Planctomycetes, Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia.Date Submitted : 2017-01-13

text: Our study system was an active restoration site at Mt Bold, a water catchment reserve of the Mt Lofty Ranges in South Australia (35.07;S, 138.42 E). This catchment was dominated by an open eucalypt woodland that has historically been subjected to tree clearance and grazing that began early in the 20th century. In this context, the native understory and most of the overstory was cleared and replaced by a grassland dominated by introduced grasses. At our study site, grazing ceased in 2003 when South Australias water utility (SA Water) took over management. SA Water has actively restored the study site since 2005, with the restoration goal of recreating the local Eucalyptus leucoxylon dominated grassy woodland community.
