1. A method for producing a desired outcome at an agriculture site, the method comprising:
receiving a set of samples associated with the agriculture site;
generating a set of microbiome-associated features and extracting soil physicochemical data upon processing the set of samples with a set of sample processing operations comprising a target amplification operation, a target sequencing operation, and a library preparation operation,
wherein generating the set of microbiome-associated features comprises generating a feature characterizing a transitivity of a co-occurrence network represented in the set of samples, wherein the transitivity characterizes a degree to which nodes in the co-occurrence network are clustered;
returning an analysis characterizing a set of crop-associated features based upon the set of microbiome-associated features; and
executing an action for producing a desired outcome in relation to the agriculture site, with respect to a specific soil type and a specific crop, wherein executing the action comprises applying a biostimulant configured to reduce transitivity of the co-occurrence network of the agriculture site, based upon the analysis.
