processor 2025-10-01 eng 本資料集為玉山國家公園東部（南安至大分，海拔 300–2,000 公尺）及西部楠溪林道的植群調查，涵蓋常綠闊葉林、針闊葉混淆林、針葉林及草生地等多樣棲地類型。調查重點為樣區植群組成、優勢種及物種多樣性。本資料集並未直接包含臺灣黑熊紀錄，但樣區依據臺灣黑熊長期研究結果區分為「熱點」與「非熱點」，可由 eventID 進一步辨識。此資料提供玉山國家公園植群分布可應用於生態研究、植被監測及保育管理。 This dataset consists of vegetation surveys conducted in Yushan National Park, Taiwan, including the eastern section (Nan-an to Dafen, 300–2,000 m a.s.l.) and the western Nansi Forest Road. The surveys cover various habitat types such as evergreen broadleaf forests, mixed conifer–broadleaf forests, coniferous forests, and grasslands. Data include vegetation composition, dominant species and species diversity. The dataset does not directly contain records of Formosan black bears, but survey plots were categorized as “hotspot” or “non-hotspot” areas of bear activity based on long-term research, which can be identified through the eventID. This dataset provides fundamental information on vegetation distribution and habitat characteristics in Yushan National Park, supporting ecological studies, vegetation monitoring, and conservation management.

eflora.yang@gmail.com 0009-0009-7368-7521 A total of 100 plots were established. Each plot measured 10 m × 25 m (250 m²) and was subdivided into ten 5 m × 5 m (25 m²) subplots. Vegetation was surveyed at two structural levels: Tree layer: All woody plants ≥1.5 m in height and with Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) ≥1 cm were identified and DBH measured. Ground layer: All plants <1.5 m in height and with DBH <1 cm, including saplings, herbs, and ferns, were recorded. The study was conducted in Yushan National Park, covering both the eastern and western regions. Eastern transect: Batongguan Historic Trail, from Nanan (300 m) to Dafen (1,300 m), passing Walami (1,000 m), Baoyai (1,600 m), up to Duo-Mei-Li Mt. area (~2,000 m). This section spans ~40 km, with habitats ranging from lowland evergreen broadleaf forests to montane coniferous forests and grasslands. Western transect: Nansi Forest Road, consisting of two sections, with vegetation types including evergreen broadleaf forest, mixed conifer-broadleaf forest, coniferous forest, and grasslands. Vegetation survey sites were selected based on GPS tracking data from 15 radio-collared Formosan black bears (Ursus thibetanus formosanus). Bear movement data were analyzed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and k-means cluster analysis to delineate four major activity hotspots. Sampling plots were established both within hotspots (areas of high bear activity) and outside hotspots (control areas with lower activity) to compare vegetation composition. Within each plot, vegetation structure, dominant species, and community composition were documented following standard phytosociological methods. Plant species were identified under the supervision of Prof. Yang, with scientific names standardized according to the latest Taiwan Catalogue of Life (TaiCOL). Data cleaning procedures included validation of taxonomic names, checking for consistency in measurements, and ensuring that no special characters were present in data values.
