The vegetation community of the experimental sample plot is mainly composed of shrub community with red sand pearl as the dominant species and herb community with sand Stipa as the dominant species. The main indicators of the survey are the number of species, coverage, height, density, aboveground biomass and litter biomass. The survey time of this data set is from 2018 to 2020 The experimental plot was divided into shrub area and herb area. Typical and representative plant communities were selected, and five 100m were set in shrub area and herb area respectively × For the 100 m sample plot, the diagonal method is used to set the sample line, check the composition of all shrub and grass plant species in the sample plot, and systematically set five 5 m samples in the sample plot × 5 m shrub quadrat, 5 1 m × 1 m herbaceous quadrat.
