The data comes from Gongga Mountain Research Station (102°00'E, 29°33'N) in Sichuan Province, China, located at an altitude of 3000 meters. The integrated data were collected from two permanent plots of 30*40 m. Plot 1 was established in 1999, at an altitude of 3000m. In the site of plot 1, Populus purdomii and Abies fabri are the dominant species in the canopy layer, Sorbus multijuga, Ribes spp, Viburnum betulifolium and Euonymus porphyreus are the dominant shrubs, and Carex spp, Galium spurium?and Pyrola spp are the dominant herbaceous species. Plot 2 was established in 1999, at an altitude of 3010m. In the site of plot 2, Abies fabri and Betula utilis are the dominant species in the canopy layer, Euonymus porphyreus and Viburnum dilatatum are the dominant shrubs, and Fragaria vesca and Carex spp are the dominant herbaceous species. All individuals of trees in both plots were identified to species and DBH and tree heights were measured. In the original document, there is no information about the size threshold that an individual larger than that is included. The number of individuals of each species was counted for each plot. The plots were first investigated in 1999 and re-investigated in 2005.Citation(s)
