a Geographical illustration of soil sampling sites in this study on the map of China. Detailed information of each sampling site is provided in Supplementary Data 1. Contaminated sites (n = 48) are marked by red dots and non-contaminated sites (n = 17) are marked by green dots. The map of China was obtained from Standard Map Service of the Ministry of Natural Resources, People’s Republic of China [Map Review Number: GS(2024)1158] and was visualized by the R package sf. Histogram showing the relative abundance of viral species at family level in contaminated (b) and non-contaminated (c) sites. d Shared vOTUs with public databases. The UpSet diagram shows the sharing of mining viruses with the vOTUs of the public databases. These vOTUs in IMG/VR- contaminated soils were screened from the IMG/VR v4 database. e The proportion of these vOTU clusters is in the contaminated and non-contaminated sites.
