Spatial patterns of vegetation carbon sinks and sources dataset in Central Asia

摘要

This dataset includes land use/cover change data with a spatial resolution of 300 m, net ecosystem productivity data based on the monthly grid data of the temperature and precipitation series data from the Climatic Research Unit, terrestrial net primary production data from MOD17 of the Central Asia that underlies the article entitled “Spatial patterns of vegetation carbon sinks and sources under water constraint in Central Asia”. We explain the details of the dataset, the data harmonization procedures, and the spatial coverage. We also provide the validation result of NPP data from MOD17. We unified the spatiotemporal resolution of these data from different sources, based on re-sampling (nearest neighbor interpolation) and re-classification techniques, and combined the data from the different source datasets to form comprehensive records.
