This dataset contains measurements of aboveground biomass, belowground organ biomass, belowground bud bank density, root biomass, soil fertility, and soil carbon and nitrogen stocks from invaded and non-invaded vegetation patches of a tropical savanna (Cerrado). Sampling was conducted in an area invaded by Urochloa brizantha, where invaded and non-invaded patches were paired, totaling 10 patches with 2 plots each. The study site is located within the Estação Ecológica de Itirapina, a natural reserve in southeastern Brazil, spanning the municipalities of Brotas and Itirapina, São Paulo State. Data were collected during a field campaign in November 2022. The dataset was generated to assess the effects of the invasive grass Urochloa brizantha on the belowground components of open Cerrado ecosystems, with a focus on the bud bank, biomass allocation among belowground organs, and soil properties.

The data comprise measurements of the impact of two prescribed annual burnings on the ecological properties of an invasion gradient by Urochloa decumbens in a tropical savanna (Cerrado). The ecological properties measured before (2019) and after the experiment (2021) were the abundance of invasive species, illuminance, air temperature, air humidity, specific leaf area, species richness, species diversity, vegetation cover, biomass, decomposition rate and carbon efflux. The two experimental areas were located within two reserves in Southeast and Central Brazil: Estação Ecológica de Itirapina in the municipalities of Brotas and Itirapina in São Paulo State, and Parque Nacional de Brasília in the Distrito Federal. Data were collected during multiple field excursions between March 2019 and September 2021.

The data comprise measurements of abundance of invasive species, illuminance, air temperature, air humidity, specific leaf area, species richness, species diversity, vegetation cover, biomass, decomposition rate and, carbon efflux that was made during filed campaigns to assess the impact of an invasive grass (Urochloa decumbens) on a tropical savanna (Cerrado) in two nature reserve areas in Brazil. The two experimental areas were located within natural reserves in Southeast and Central Brazil; Estação Ecológica de Itirapina in the municipalities of Brotas and Itirapina in São Paulo State, and Parque Nacional de Brasília in the Distrito Federal. Data were collected during multiple field excursions between March and September 2019. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/abcabfe2-612c-4cab-b626-641002fc442e
