Data from: Gómez-Rodríguez C, Retuerto R, Campoy JG, Rodríguez-Echeverría S. 2024. Low impact of <i>Carpobrotus edulis</i> on soil microbiome after manual removal from a climate change field experiment. NeoBiota 95: 35-57 | DOI: 10.3897/neobiota.95.118238

Illumina paired-end raw FASTQ files (forward [R1] and reverse [R2] reads) of microbial communities in dune soil samples (n = 24). A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of Carpobrotus edulis (L.), an invasive plant of coastal dune ecosystems, on soil microbial communities (fungi and bacteria) seven months after its removal. C. edulis grew on the experimental plots for 14 months under current (“invasive species treatment” [Inv]) and increased warming and drought conditions (“combined treatment” [Inv_ClimCh]).
