This study sampled 20 lakes along a north-south permafrost gradient (continuous, discontinuous, sporadic, no permafrost) in boreal western Canada (Northwest Territories and Alberta). Samples were taken from the sediments at the edges of small boreal ponds, extracted using DNeasy Powersoil and then prepared for shotgun sequencing using an NEBNext Ultra II FS kit. Controls included: negative water only, Zymo Microbial community standard.
