Dataset of above and underground biomass and soil carbon in Pan-TPE from 2015 to 2017

Based on the field survey, the aboveground and underground biomass of vegetation, and soil carbon and nitrogen contents in Nagqu， in the north of Zoige, eastern of Tibet plateau and the wind vacanofrom 2015 to 2017 were collected, and the data were collated and preliminarily analyzed. Dataset consists both of the aboveground and underground biomass of vegetation and soil carbon and nitrogen contents in different elevation gradient (subalpine meadow, alpine meadow, alpine shrub meadow), different moisture gradient (wetland, degraded swamp, swamp meadow, wet meadow, dry meadow and degraded meadow) and the different desertification degree (mild desertification, moderate desertification, severe desertification, desertification). The differences and trends of vegetation biomass and soil carbon and nitrogen contents under different gradients were analyzed. This dataset provides a theoretical basis for understanding and rational utilization of grassland resources, and also provides strong support for exploring the prediction of alpine grassland productivity under the global climate change.
