Data for: Carbon sequestration potential of forest vegetation in China from 2003 to 2050: Predicting forest vegetation growth based on climate and environment

According to China's forest resources situation, this study used NFI-measured data of 7,801 sample plots in 2003, 2008 and 2013 (tree species, diameter at breast height (DBH), tree volume, average age, latitude, longitude, altitude, annual average rainfall, annual average temperature, gradient, slope direction, slope position, and soil thickness) and forest ecosystem biomass data (longitude, latitude, altitude, average annual temperature, average annual rainfall, forest origin, species composition, average age, average DBH, average tree height, forest density, forest volume, arborous layer biomass, undergrowth layer biomass, herbaceous layer biomass, undergrowth vegetation biomass, and dead plant biomass).针对我国森林资源现状，本研究采用了2003、2008及2013年的7801块样地的全国森林资源连续清查（National Forest Inventory，NFI）实测数据，涉及指标包括树种、胸径（diameter at breast height，DBH）、立木蓄积量、平均年龄、纬度、经度、海拔、年平均降雨量、年平均气温、坡度、坡向、坡位及土壤厚度；同时纳入了森林生态系统生物量数据，其涵盖的指标包括经度、纬度、海拔、年平均气温、年平均降雨量、林分起源、物种组成、平均年龄、平均胸径、平均树高、林分密度、立木蓄积量、乔木层生物量、灌木层生物量、草本层生物量、林下植被生物量及死植物体生物量。
