Shotgun metagenomes of soil fungal communities from multiple environments on Trindade Island, South Atlantic Ocean, Brazil
We generated 92 soil shotgun metagenomes to investigate the structure and functional potential of fungal communities across four environments on Trindade Island, a remote Brazilian oceanic island. Samples span contrasting edaphic conditions including differences in soil pH, aluminium content, texture, and vegetation cover. Environmental DNA was extracted directly from soils and sequenced using whole-metagenome shotgun approaches. The resulting raw sequence data enable taxonomic profiling of soil fungi and other microorganisms, functional gene annotation, and ecological analyses linking community composition to environmental gradients. These data provide a resource for studies of soil microbial ecology, island biogeography, and functional diversity in tropical oceanic ecosystems.
