Description

We set two elevational transects on contrasting bedrock types, i.e. slate and granite, in a subtropical forest. Ten and nine sampling sites were distributed in the slate and granite transects, respectively. We surveyed the plant community and calculated the above-ground biomass. Five replicate samples were collected in each site, which resulted in a total of 95 samples. We measured phosphorus concentration (P) in the mineral soil, soil microbial biomass, fine-root, litter, and bedrock. In the uploaded data, we present all data mentioned above.
