A field-measured dataset of plant and soil characteristics spanning six grassland types in the Zoige, northeastern Tibetan Plateau, China (opens in new tab)

Grasslands, which cover nearly one-quarter of the Earth’s terrestrial surface, perform vital functions in carbon sequestration, biodiversity maintenance, and ecosystem stability. Zoige, situated on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, hosts one of the world’s largest alpine peatland grassland complexes; however, quantitative field-based ecological datasets remain limited, constraining biomass evaluation, productivity estimation, and large-scale carbon assessment. To improve the availability of e...
