The assemblage data comes from the Hulun Buir Research Station in Inner Mongolia. The climate of the study sites is the semi-arid climate type in the middle temperate zone, and the vegetation is meadow steppe. In 2006, one day was selected in each month from May to September, and five 1*1m quadrats were surveyed every day; in 2007 and 2008, two days were selected in each month from May to September, and five 1*1m quadrats were surveyed every day. The original data provided the number of individuals and the fresh and dry weight (biomass) of each species for each sampling event (combination of day and plot), but the original document did not describe the specific survey method. For compiling data for BioTME, only dry biomass was used. Because the biomass of some species (approximately 10%) was very low, the dry biomass of these species was not measured, they were filled according to the fresh weight by multiplying 0.5 (the mean ratio of dry to fresh biomass across species) or the smallest value (0.02g) of biomass measurements. The longitude and latitude of the survey sample plot sites are not given in the original data, only the rough center longitude and latitude are found and added to the compiled data according to the site description.Citation(s)
