A dataset of species composition and biomass in successional stages of Tiantong typical evergreen broad-leaved forest (2008–2017)

As a basic properties of forest vegetation, forest succession law is the basis understanding . Typical evergreen broad-leaved forest a zonal vegetation in the subtropical area of China. The existing vegetation is mostly in different secondary succession stages due to human and natural disturbance. lant species is an important indicator of the forest ecosystem and the basis for the study o structure, function and dynamics of evergreen broad-leaved forest. According to CNERN monitoring standards, Zhejiang Tiantong Forest Ecosystem Observation and Research Station three three succession plots and established a dataset species composition 2008 to 2017. The succession plots are evergreen shrub plot, Schima Superba forest plot and Castanopsis fargesii forest plot, respectively species name, abundance, mean diameter and biomass of woody plants the plots. The database provides critical data for the study and application of succession, community assembly and forest restoration in subtropical typical evergreen broad-leaved forests.
