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.
