A dataset of surface runoff in a Cunninghamia lanceolata plantation at the Fujian Sanming Forest Ecosystem National Observation and Research Station from 2012 to 2022

This dataset comprises a single datasheet containing 985 entries, which include the following variables: ecosystem station code, longitude, latitude, ground elevation, date, plot code, plot name, vegetation type, water depth in the runoff tank, runoff volume, runoff plot area, unit runoff, precipitation, and typhoon events. The dataset uses a standard runoff field to collect surface runoff monitoring data from April 2012 to March 2022, obtained from Chinese fir plantations at the Sanming Forest Ecosystem National Observation and Research Station in Fujian Province, China.
