                            <para>This dataset documents the presence of alien invasive plant species collected through systematic field surveys conducted in the Xiaoxing&apos;an Mountains region of Heilongjiang Province, China, between July 2022 and July 2023. The collection is comprised of 4,408 unique sampling event records and 4,773 species occurrence records. The data follows the Darwin Core Archive standard and is published as a Sampling Event Core, providing detailed information on sampling efforts, precise geographical coordinates (with a spatial accuracy of 10 meters), temporal coverage, and species composition. The dataset is a vital resource for regional ecological risk assessment, species distribution modeling, and the management of invasive species in this crucial temperate forest ecosystem.</para>

                                <para>Grid Survey: 
The study area is divided into 20km × 20km grids, focusing on areas with complex vegetation. A 300m × 300m survey is conducted around each grid point to locate invasive plants.
Targeted Plot Setup and Quantification:
If invasive plants are found during the reconnaissance, plots are set up for further investigation. The plot size depends on the type of invasive species:
Herbaceous plants: 1m × 1m quadrats are used to record species and coverage.
Shrub plants: 5m × 5m quadrats are used for the same purpose.
The reconnaissance also recorded occurrence details of all invasive plants within the 300m × 300m area.
Transect Survey:
Sampling sections of road, free from major disturbances, are chosen for at least 5km stretches. A sample point is established every 1km along one side of the road. A reconnaissance survey is conducted at each sample point, and quadrats are placed randomly to record the species and cover of invasive plants.
