This data includes the soil carbon and nitrogen content at 0-10cm, 10-20cm and 20-30cm soil depths of 52 sample points in the west of Qinghai Tibet Plateau. The soil samples were obtained by the research team through soil drilling from 2019 to 2020. After the soil was screened with 2mm aperture, it was air dried and fine roots were removed, and then measured by carbon and nitrogen analyzer in the laboratory. This data can provide a theoretical basis for the study of soil carbon and nitrogen processes at different depths in the western Qinghai Tibet Plateau under the scenario of global climate change in the future, and provide data support for the model to simulate the process of soil carbon and nitrogen cycle, which is conducive to a deeper understanding of the process of soil carbon and nitrogen cycle in the western Qinghai Tibet Plateau.
