Dataset of soil fauna species from the Changbai Mountains survey (2019-2021)

To address this gap, the present dataset was compiled by systematically collating and standardizing our team’s field sampling and taxonomic data from the northern slope of the Changbai Mountains (2019–2021), together with data derived from published studies.

The dataset covers representative forest plots in the Changbai Mountain and includes species checklists, taxonomic classifications, abundance records, and sampling information, with a total data size of 53 KB. It encompasses six taxonomic groups, namely springtails, mites, beetles, spiders, centipedes, and millipedes, involving 50 families with a total of 210 soil fauna species. For each species, comprehensive taxonomic information is provided, including Latin species name, Chinese names of species, genus name, family name, order name, class name, phylum name, and kingdom.
