The data set includes three types of data, which are: (1) the data of soil physical and chemical indexes, carbon and nitrogen, plant carbon and nitrogen, and microbial carbon and nitrogen in the collapse area of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau in 2020. These data provide an important reference for the assessment of the carbon and nitrogen cycle in the Tibetan Plateau. This data is mainly obtained through field observation during the investigation in Gangcha, Qinghai Province in 2020. The obtained plant and soil samples were taken back to the laboratory for preliminary classification and impurity removal, and then dried to constant weight in an oven at 65 ° C. Carbon and nitrogen components in soil and plants were measured. A total of 40 quadrats of 4 typical plots were obtained. The data can be used to reveal the spatial variation of soil and plant carbon and nitrogen components, and understand the distribution of carbon and nitrogen components in soil plant microbial system. (2) Data of soil nutrient composition of grassland horizontal transect in Qinghai Tibet Plateau in 2019. This data is mainly obtained from the field drilling during the sample belt investigation in 2019. The soil samples were taken back to the laboratory for preliminary classification, root removal and stone screening. The soil samples were dried naturally, then mixed evenly and divided into two parts (about 100g each). One part was sieved with 2mm soil sieve to obtain sieved samples, and the other part was ground with ball mill to obtain ground samples. The content elements included: the contents of total C, N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, CA, Na and total Mg; the contents of available P, K, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, CA, Na and Mg. Determination of soil total C and N: the grinding samples were packed, and then the contents of total C and N were determined by chnos elemental analyzer (vario El III, GmbH, Hanau, Germany). Determination of total elements in soil: the grinding samples were pressed by a tablet press, and then the contents of total P, K, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, CA, Na and total Mg in the samples were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF, panalytical Axios max, Almelo, the Netherlands). Determination of soil available elements: the sieved samples were extracted, and the contents of available P, K, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, CA, Na and Mg were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICAP 6300, Thermo Electron Corporation, Waltham, Ma, USA). A total of 13 transects were obtained. Each plot obtained three soil layers (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-30 cm). Therefore, there are 117 data of each soil nutrient element (C, N, P, Mn, Zn, etc.) in each quadrat. The data are directly obtained from the field soil samples obtained by this scientific research. After air drying, screening and grinding, the data are determined by the relevant analyzer (above) according to the corresponding test specifications, and the quality is reliable, which can be used to analyze the distribution law of soil carbon and nitrogen content or density in different regions and to evaluate soil nutrient In particular, it can be used for the research and modeling of carbon and nitrogen cycle driven by precipitation change, which has a wide range of application value and application prospects. (3) Vegetation productivity data of grassland horizontal transect in Qinghai Tibet Plateau in 2019. This data is mainly obtained from the field observation during the transect survey in 2019. After obtaining the plant samples, they were taken back to the laboratory for preliminary classification, gravel and other impurities were removed, and then dried in the oven at 65 ° C to constant weight. According to the biomass of the sample, it was converted into the key element of ecosystem carbon cycle vegetation productivity (NPP). A total of 13 transect points and 39 quadrats were obtained. The content elements of the data include aboveground biomass, aboveground biomass and NPP. The unit is gram per square meter; this data is the field observation data obtained from this scientific research, with reliable quality, which can be used to analyze the distribution law of vegetation productivity, vegetation cover, carbon storage assessment of ecosystem in different regions, especially for the study of carbon cycle driven by precipitation change and its modeling, and has a wide application value and application prospect.

Grassland actual net primary production (NPPa) was calculated by CASA model. CASA model was calculated with the combination of satellite-observed NDVI and climate (e.g. temperature, precipitation and radiation) as the driving factors, and other factors, such as land-use change and human harvest from plant material, were reflected by the changes of NDVI. CASA NPP was determined by two variables, absorbed photosynthetically active radiation’ (APAR) and the light-use efficiency (LUE). Grassland potential net primary production (NPPp) was calculated by TEM model. TEM is one of process-based ecosystem model, which was driven by spatially referenced information on vegetation type, climate, elevation, soils, and water availability to calculate the monthly carbon and nitrogen fluxes and pool sizes of terrestrial ecosystems. TEM can be only applied in mature and undisturbed ecosystem without take the effects of land use into consideration due to it was used to make equilibrium predications. Grassland potential aboveground biomass (AGBp) was estimated by random forest (RF) algorithm, using 345 AGB observation data in fenced grasslands and their corresponding climate data, soil data, and topographical data.

This dataset is derived from the paper: Tang, H. et al. (2020). Early Oligocene vegetation and climate of southwestern China inferred from palynology. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 560, 109988. doi:10.1016/j.palaeo.2020.109988 This data is part of Supplementary data of the paper, maily contains: Supplementary table 1) Pollen percentages, which were calculated using the collected pollen samples. Supplementary table 2) Plant functional types (PFTs) for the reconstructed paleovegetation of three sites : Wenshan (Early Oligocene), Jianchuan (Early Oligocene) and Lühe (Late Eocene). Recently, in the town of Lühe, central Yunnan, SW China, a new fossil-bearing section was found and dated as early Oligocene (~33–32 Ma) according to U-Pb isotope of volcanic tuff. The fossil-bearing section totals about 18 m in thickness. Fifty-five pollen samples were collected vertically throughout this Lühe town section. For each sample, 2–2.5 g of sediment were treated with KOH (10%,) HCl (10%) and HF (39%), then sample residues were sieved through a 5 μm nylon mesh in an ultrasonic tank. Spore and pollen grains were identified using both a light microscope (LM, Leica DM1000 microscope) and a scanning electronic microscope (SEM). Single grains were picked up by a capillary tube and then transferred to a copper stub, coated with gold and observed with a Zeiss EVO LS10 SEM. At least 300 pollen grains were counted for each sample under the LM at ×400 magnification. Then the pollen percentages were calculated using the sum of total terrestrial pollen. The paleovegetation was reconstructed following the method described by Prentice et al., 1996, Prentice and Jolly, 2000 and Ni et al. (2010). The paleobiomes were reconstructed by comparing the similarity of the palaeoflora with modern plant functional types (PFTs), according to the data published by Ni et al. (2010). The similarity between the palaeoflora and modern PFTs data was explored using Euclidean distances (Prentice et al., 1996) and the Jaccard Index Coefficient (Pound and Salzmann, 2017). The Jaccard Index Coefficient in the R package “clusteval” was used here to calculate the similarity. The palaeoflora was assigned to the biome with the highest similarity scores, taking into account dominant or key taxa.
