Fine root adaptation strategies of Pinus koraiensis and Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica under rocky steep slope conditions

This dataset contains topological parameters of fine roots of 14-year-old Pinus koraiensis and Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica, including mycorrhizal infection rate, number of internal and external connections, and topological index, as well as morphological and stoichiometric indicators of fine roots at grades 1-3, including diameter, specific root length, specific surface area, tissue density, carbon and nitrogen content.

The data is sourced from Hengshan Forest Farm in Yichun, Heilongjiang Province, and can be used to analyze the fine root adaptation strategies of coniferous tree species under rocky steep slope stress.
