Diversity profiling of soil bacterial and fungal communities in the Ogasawara (Bonin) Islands, Japan.

Island biogeography research provides insight into microbial diversity patterns; however, little is known about the diversity and distribution of soil microbial communities on remote and poorly accessible islands. Here, we present amplicon sequencing data from bacterial and fungal communities in the surface soils of the Ogasawara (Bonin) Islands, Japan.
