40.9 KB Excel file provides biomass data for dominant grassland species. Zhening Zhu published the dataset on figshare in June 2026. It likely contains aboveground and belowground biomass measurements for the top four species at each sampling site.
Use Cases
- Calculate root-to-crown ratios based on the biomass data mentioned in the description
- Analyze species dominance patterns based on the cumulative biomass proportions of the top 1-4 species
- Model grassland ecosystem productivity based on total biomass per sampling site
- Compare aboveground and belowground biomass allocation among dominant species
Strengths
- File size is 40.9 KB, indicating a compact and focused dataset
- License is CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse and redistribution
- Description specifies key metrics: aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, total biomass, and root-to-crown ratio
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
