How groundwater abstraction impacts groundwater ecosystems

Groundwater pump test - see Methods -- Read me.txt file for data collection methods.<br>Microbial assemblage data derived from Illumina sequencing of 16S rDNA amplicons. Sequence data were processed using Greenfield Hybrid Analysis Pipeline (GHAP) v2.2, created by CSIRO Australia (available at https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/ pUvwME6fMeCcX - zL). Taxonomic assignment is based on the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) Classifier (Wang, Garrity et al. 2007). OTUs were assigned using a 97% similarity threshold). Low abundant OTUs (&lt;10), organelles and unassigned taxa at kingdom level were removed.
