High-throughput amplicon sequencing datasets of microbial community in soils irrigated by quicklime and fly ash-treated acid mine drainage water.

ABSTRACT: In water-stressed regions, the use of treated acid mine drainage (AMD) water for irrigated agriculture has been suggested as an alternative to address the shortage of fresh water sources. However, the short and long-term impact of using such (un)treated AMD water on soil health, particularly the microbiome structure and functional capacity, is not known. We present high-throughput amplicon sequence (HTS) datasets of purified microbial metacommunity DNA of soils under Irish potato production irrigated by quicklime and fly ash treated AMD water. The irrigation treatments included quicklime treated AMD water (A1Q and A2Q; n = 16), and quicklime and fly ash-treated AMD water (AFQ; n = 5), untreated AMD water (uAMD; n = 7) and control group using tap water (n = 5).
