Dataset of plant, soil, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities under different precipitation patterns in temperate grasslands of Inner Mongolia, China

The dataset includes information on plant community characteristics, soil physicochemical properties, and AMF community composition and diversity. AMF data include community diversity indices and relative abundances of dominant AMF genera.

The dataset was collected to investigate the responses of plant and AMF communities to changes in precipitation patterns and to explore the relationships among precipitation, soil properties, plant communities, and AMF communities in temperate grassland ecosystems. These data can be used to evaluate changes in biodiversity, community composition, and spatial variability of plant and AMF communities under altered precipitation regimes.
