Abstract: Rapid urbanization and industrialization have dramatically increased global solid waste generation, placing immense pressure on waste management systems. In many developing countries, illegal and uncontrolled dumping remains widespread, yet its ecological impacts, particularly on soil microbial communities, are still poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we applied high-throughput amplicon sequencing and metagenomic profiling to analyze soil microbiomes across three categories of solid waste dumping. Our results show that solid waste dumping significantly altered both biotic and abiotic components of soil ecosystems. Soil properties shifted abruptly, with elevated pH and increased concentrations of pollutants such as petroleum hydrocarbons and fluorides. Microbial communities were extensively restructured, exhibiting both taxonomic turnover and functional adaptations. Viral communities displayed greater sensitivity to dumping-induced disturbances than prokaryotic or fungal communities. These findings provide new insights into soil microbiome responses to anthropogenic pollution and highlight taxon-specific adaptation strategies. To our knowledge, this is among the first comparative studies integrating prokaryotic, fungal, and viral responses to solid waste dumping using high-throughput molecular approaches. Our findings present a novel perspective that may guide future monitoring efforts and enhance approaches to environmental damage identification and assessment.
