Main vegetation types and species composition of Daluo Mountain, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China

Daluo Mountain, located in the southeastern Wenzhou City, lies within the subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest zone. Despite its ecological significance, comprehensive vegetation data for this region remain limited. This study aims to investigate the main vegetation types on Daluo Mountain, focusing on species composition, community characteristics, and distribution patterns. This study employs standard sampling methods to investigate the vegetation. A total of 85 plots were established across Daluo Mountain. Data were collected on species composition, quantitative attributes, and habitat characteristics. Vegetation types were classified and named, resulting in the Daluo Mountain plant community dataset. The survey identified 244 plant species from 179 genera and 96 families. The most species-rich families were Poaceae (23 species), Rosaceae (13 species), Fabaceae (12 species), Asteraceae (7 species), and Cupressaceae (6 species). The most species-rich genera include Ilex (6 species), Symplocos (5 species), Rubus (5 species), Smilax (4 species), and Persicaria (4 species). The vegetation was categorized into 6 Vegetation Formation Groups, 16 Vegetation Formations, and 56 Alliances, providing fundamental data for studying the vegetation characteristics of Daluo Mountain.
