(Funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 316446092) 2026-04-06T18:45:27Z https://opara.zih.tu-dresden.de/xmlui/handle/123456789/1904 Data on soil properties, associated with the manuscript "Importance of microbial communities at the root-soil interface for extracellular polymeric substances and soil aggregation in semiarid grasslands" Zethof, J.H.T. Dataset of the obtained results per individual soil sample. "Field labels" fit the raw amplicon dataset, which is stored at NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), under accession number PRJNA689290. Dataset belongs to manuscript "Importance of microbial communities at the root-soil interface for extracellular polymeric substances and soil aggregation in semiarid grasslands", submitted to Soil Biology and Biochemistry journal (Elsevier). 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z https://opara.zih.tu-dresden.de/xmlui/handle/123456789/1731 Updated structural equation model (SEM) used in the manuscript "Prokaryotic community composition and extracellular polymeric substances affect soil microaggregation in carbonate containing semiarid grasslands" Zethof, J.H.T.
