Bacteria domain rarefaction curves indicating the expected taxonomic richness of the samples (number of ASVs) for the five DNA extraction kits. The kits tested in this study are as follows: the Quick-DNA Fecal/Soil Microbe kit (Zymo Research, USA), the DNeasy PowerSoil Pro Qiagen kit (Promega, USA), the FastDNA Spin Kit for Soil, the Magbeads FastDNA kit for Soil (MP Biodemicals, USA), and the E.Z.N.A Soil DNA kit (Omega Biotek, USA).
