Raw sequence reads of sediment communities from four sites across the Eboliang Hu saline lakes
Eboliang Hu is a mildly acidic saline-lake system in the hyper-arid Qaidam Basin, with hydrochemical gradients and low nutrients. Sediments were collected from four sites in the Eboliang Hu lake system (38.3595 N, 92.8916 E) in July 2022. DNA was extracted from 0.25 g wet sediment using the DNeasy PowerMax Soil Kit. Approximately 350-bp libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform.
