The study was carried out in the temperate forest in Jiaohe, Jilin Province, in northeastern China. This study uses data from a 42 ha (840 × 500 m2) forest dynamics plot (hereafter referred to as the Jiaohe forest plot; 43°57.524′–43°58.042′N, 127°44.111′–127°44.667 E), established in the summer of 2010, according to the standard of the Center of Tropical Forest Science (CTFS; http://www.ctfs.si.edu/). All trees and shrubs with ≥ 1 cm diameter at breast height (dbh) in the Jiaohe forest plot were mapped, identified to species, and measured for the first time in the summer of 2010. A second census was carried out in the summer of 2015. The data set<i> </i>contains the tree census data, the status in 2015 (A,alive and D, dead), the initial size (dbh) in 2010, conspecific and heterospecific tree neighbor density within a given radius (5, 10, 15 or 20 m), as well as the soil properties and topography.
