Data for "<i>Contrasting coordination of non-structural carbohydrates with leaf and root economics strategies of alpine coniferous forests</i>"

Through examining NSC and key economic traits in fine roots and leaves across alpine coniferous populations on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, we observed contrasting coordination of NSC with economics traits in leaves and roots. Sampling was performed at 90 coniferous forest stands distributed across the study area, including 26 <i>Abies</i> populations, 10 <i>Larix</i> populations, 37 <i>Picea</i> populations, and 17 <i>Pinus</i> populations.
