Plant and soil microbial diversity and related spatial and environmental factors in the grasslands of northern China

Plant and soil microbial diversity and related spatial and environmental
factors in the grasslands of northern China from 2018 and 2019. The data
included 54 and 27 sites in 2018 and 2019 respectively. The data table
contains two sheets, one for 2018 and the other for 2019. Spatial factors
include longitude and latitude; climatic factors include mean annual
temperature, mean annual precipitation, temperature seasonality,
precipitation seasonality, potential evapotranspiration, and aridity
index; soil factors include soil bulk density, soil moisture, soil pH,
soil organic carbon, soil clay content, soil silt content, soil sand
content, soil total carbon, soil total nitrogen, and soil C:N ratio; plant
functional diversity include    functional
richness (FRic), functional evenness (FEve), functional divergence (FDiv),
functional dispersion (FDis), Rao's quadratic entropy (RaoQ);
community-weighted mean (CWM) traits include specific leaf area (SLA),
leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf nitrogen content (leafN),ratio of
leaf carbon to nitrogen (leaf C:N), and stem density; soil microbial
diversity include bacterial diversity and fungal diversity; fungal
functional guilds include pathotrophic fungi, saprotrophic fungi,
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and ectomycorrhizal fungi; bacterial
functional guilds include aerobic chemoheterotrophy, predatory or
exoparasitic, cellulolysis, aerobic nitrite oxidation, sulfur respiration,
nitrate reduction, ureolysis, aromatic compound degradation, intracellular
parasites, fermentation, and methanotrophy in the data sheet of
2018.  Soil microbial diversity include bacterial diversity and
fungal diversity; fungal functional guilds include pathotrophic fungi,
saprotrophic fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and ectomycorrhizal
fungi; bacterial functional guilds include aerobic chemoheterotrophy,
predatory or exoparasitic, cellulolysis, aerobic nitrite oxidation, sulfur
respiration, nitrate reduction, ureolysis, aromatic compound degradation,
intracellular parasites, fermentation, and methanotrophy in the data sheet
of 2019.
