Abstract
This dataset has short read sequences from of communities exposed to nutrient enrichment under microcosm conditions. The original communities came from cryoconite hole sediments from Canada Glacier, Taylor Valley, Antarctica. Homogenized sediments were then distributed among 20 sterile Petri dishes (60 mm), each with 25 g dry weight equivalent (31.25 g wet sediment based on 25% water content) and assigned to five experimental treatments. Treatments consisted of 1) Bulk, sediments that received neither water nor nutrients, 2) Control, sediments that received additions of 1 ml of water, 3) +N, sediments that received 1 ml of ammonium nitrate solution to achieve 4 µmol N * g soil-1, 3) +P, sediments that received 1 ml of sodium phosphate dibasic solution to achieve 2 µmol P * g soil-1, and 5) +NP, sediments that received 1 ml of combined ammonium nitrate and sodium phosphate dibasic to achieve 4 µmol N + 2µmol P * g soil-1. Each treatment was replicated five times and incubated in a freeze-thaw growth chamber with temperatures cycling between 1°C and 3°C and light between ~100 Lux (5 hrs/day) and ~10,000 Lux (19 hrs per day) to imitate natural cryoconite holes conditions during austral summers.
