The present study investigated the impact of low-temperature stress on the rhizosphere soil micro-ecosystem of\n                    <jats:italic>P. clematidea<\/jats:italic>\n                    , with the aim of examining its adaptive micro-ecological mechanisms via a comprehensive multi-omics approach. The rhizosphere soils of plants were compared under low-temperature (LT, 5\u202f\u00b0C) or normal-temperature (HT, 25\u202f\u00b0C) treatments. Using soil physicochemical analysis, enzyme activity assay, metagenomics, and non-targeted metabolomics, we observed that LT stress did not significantly alter microbial alpha diversity but strongly shifted the community structure. This change enriched cold-tolerant bacterial taxa, including\n                    <jats:italic>Nocardiopsis, Sphingobium<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Azoarcus.<\/jats:italic>\n                    The LT stress was associated with altered carbon and nitrogen cycling, as indicated by increased soil urease activity but decreased alkaline phosphatase and catalase activities. The nitrate-N and ammonium-N levels increased, but total nitrogen, total organic carbon, and organic matter were reduced. Additionally, metagenomic study revealed overexpression of major microbial carbon metabolism genes (e.g., TCA cycle and glycolysis) and downregulation of nitrogen assimilation genes (e.g.,\n                    <jats:italic>glnA<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>NasA<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). Furthermore, metabolomics indicated a rise in carbohydrates and vitamins, along with a notable accumulation of stress-resistant secondary metabolites such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and terpenes in the rhizosphere soils under LT stress. Correlation analysis indicated strong positive associations between the enriched cold-tolerant genera and these stress-resistant metabolites (e.g., costunolide and choline sulfate). Functional enrichment analysis suggested a metabolic reprogramming signature coupled with low-temperature treatment. Finally, this integrated multi-omics study reveals that\n                    <jats:italic>P. clematidea<\/jats:italic>\n                    is associated with an altered rhizosphere microbiome, differential functional gene abundance, and reorganized metabolic networks under low-temperature conditions.
