These files contains the description of the data and scripts to reproduce the analyses of Burg et al: "Plants, not just environment, select the interacting fungal pool along altitude". As detailed in the study, the data consist of fungal DNA data from ten high and low Bistorta vivipara populations across Fennoscandia. Species-level fungal OTUs have been identified applying ITS2-based metabarcoding to the different parts of the focal plant B. vivipara (bulbils, leaves and roots) and its surrounding soil and leaves of surrounding plants. In total, the data contains data on 253 fungal OTUs across 641 sampling units. The README file describes the contents of the metadata and explains how the scripts are to be run in order to reproduce the results in Burg et al.
