Observation dataset of forest ecosystems on the eastern margin of the Tibet Plateau (2005-2008)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

These are the meteorological, soil, vegetation and other data observed by the Gongga Mountain Forest Ecosystem Test Station on the eastern margin of the Tibetan plateau, primarily from 2005 to 2008.

Tree layer biological observation data: diameter at breast height, tree height, life form

Shrub layer biological observation data: tree number, height, coverage, life form, aboveground biomass, underground biomass

Herb layer biological observation data: tree (strain) number, average height, coverage, life type, aboveground biomass, underground biomass

Leaf area index: tree layer leaf area index, shrub layer leaf area index, grass layer leaf area index

Soil organic matter and nutrients: soil organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, available nitrogen (alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen), available phosphorus, available potassium, slowly available potassium, PH value in aqueous solution

Soil water content: depth, water content
