AbstractGlobal climate change marked by rising temperatures and increasingly frequent, severe heat waves, threatens plant health, productivity, and ecosystem function. Beneficial plant-microbe associations are increasingly recognized for their role in mitigating abiotic stress, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying microbially-conferred thermotolerance remain poorly understood.

AbstractBridging molecular information to ecosystem-level processes would provide the capacity to understand system vulnerability and, potentially, a means for assessing ecosystem health. Here, we present an integrated dataset containing environmental and metagenomic information from plant-associated microbial communities, plant transcriptomics, plant and soil metabolomics, and soil chemistry and activity characterization measurements derived from the model tree species Populus trichocarpa.
