The data contains the survey information of the sample community species of 5 samples at each sampling site, including species name, coverage, height (5 plants) and number of plants. A total of 28 samples (28 Excel forms) are named from QZKK- 03-001 to QZKK-03-028, in a compressed file package, the other three files are the aboveground biomass, underground biomass and the longitude and latitude information of the sampling point of the species, which need to be compared with each other (species height, coverage , Number of plants, aboveground/underground biomass collection and survey plot area is 1m*1m, each sample point has 10 plots, of which 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and other plots are collected for different species. P2, P4, P6, P8, P10 are expressed, the coverage is expressed as a percentage, the height is cmcm, and the number of plants is expressed by the number of species. The root biomass of each plot is divided into 3 layers, each layer 10cm, each item The units of the indicators are marked in the title). The data are all collected and measured on the spot, the height is measured by a tape measure, and the coverage is obtained by the estimation method. The data is of good quality and can be used to calculate biodiversity and species distribution.

File naming and required software

The data file is named by region + subject + data collection time. The sample point number in the file is the fixed sample number, the species name is Chinese, and the corresponding Latin name needs to be queried by yourself. Five plants of each sample square are randomly selected to measure the height, QZKK-03 -QZKK0302 is the number of Qinghai-Tibet scientific expedition task three, GSXJ refers to the Xinjiang area of Gansu. QZKK-03-001.xlsx is the vegetation survey data of the first sample point, and each sheet represents a different sample square (for example, "sample number GSXJ-P001-P2" represents the P2 sample square of the 001 sample point in Xinjiang, Gansu)
