Abstract:

With the rapid development of society, the scale of plantation is continuously expanding. How to effectively carry out the management of plantation and evaluate the functions of the ecosystem is a long-term research topic. Established in 1984, the Heshan Hilly Comprehensive Open Experimental Station of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereafter referred to as Heshan Station) was focused on plantation ecosystems. Adhering to the long-term observation standards of CERN, it conducts long-term community dynamics observation of the main plantation types in the South China region, accumulating long-term data. This dataset includes the species composition and community characteristics data from the long-term monitoring plot of Acacia mangium plantations at Heshan Station, spanning 2005 to 2015, along with detailed information on the construction process of the dataset. It is expected to provide important data support for plantation management and ecosystem function evaluation.
