Bryophyte species-trait dataset in Eastern China

Drawing on field survey information gathered from 2018 to 2022, we have developed a bryophyte species-trait dataset, that encompasses 16,920 trait measurements across 549 species from Eastern China, covering Mt. Dabie in Anhui, Mt. Tianmu in Zhejiang, Mt. Guan in Jiangxi, and Mt. Daiyun in Fujian. Data from 8,112 specimens across four sampling sites were organized into four categories: taxonomy, distribution, resistance traits and reproductive traits. The compilation of this dataset offers valuable opportunities to deepen our understanding of the factors, constraints, and effects associated with biodiversity variability, while also providing richer insights into predicting species distributions and implementing targeted in-situ conservation strategies.
