Examines metagenomes in soils and wastewater in Mezquital Valley, indicating wastewater's impact on soil health.
The Mezquital Valley is a unique site for studying the gradual effects of wastewater irrigation on agricultural soils. We report metagenomes from soils irrigated for 50 years and their corresponding irrigation water. Potentially pathogenic bacteria dominated the wastewater, while the soil harbored a diverse community mainly involved in biogeochemical cycling.
