Changes in soil taxonomic and functional diversity resulting from gamma irradiation

Little is known of the effects of ionizing radiation exposure on soil biota. We exposed soil microcosms to weekly bursts of (60)Co gamma radiation over six weeks, at three levels of exposure (0.1 kGy/hr/wk [low], 1 kGy/hr/wk [medium] and 3 kGy/hr/wk [high]). Soil DNA was extracted, and shotgun metag...
