Dataset of distribution and trait of small mammals in Mt. Liangshan

Secondary and plantation forests are the main alternative forests
remaining after the deforestation of primary forests. Understanding the
conservation value of secondary and plantation forests is
important for biological conservation. To explore the impact of forest
conversion on biodiversity, we compared multiple diversity metrics
(taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity) and the community
structure of small mammals in the primary, secondary, and plantation
forests in Mt. Liangshan, Sichuan Province, China. The dataset
describes the distribution, morphological traits, and other traits of
small mammals.
