Dataset of permanent plots of secondary forests with different abundances of Ligustrum lucidum, which are part of the Red Subtropical de Parcelas Permanentes (RedSPP, https://ier.conicet.gov.ar/red-subtropical-de-parcelas-permanentes-redspp/) that provides data of long-term plot monitoring of subtropical montane forests of Argentina. This dataset include the basal area (BA) as a measure of the abundance at species-level per plot (m²/400m²) of 20 dominant tree species. Also the data include the soil properties related to nutrient and water cycles in a randomly chosen subset of the plots. We measured soil moisture (%) soil organic carbon (C) content (%), soil nitrogen (N) content (%) and soil C: N ratio, using three samples (10 cm depth) collected from each plot.
