Impact Assessment of 675 Wind Farms on Land Surface Temperature and Vegetation in China

China's national assessment of environmental impacts from wind farm infrastructure. The dataset includes code and results summarizing the annual and seasonal effects on land surface temperature and vegetation for 675 wind farms. It was created by Ziyan Li, Yan Li, et al. and updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between wind farm location and local land surface temperature changes based on the described seasonal impact data.
• Assess the effect of wind farms on vegetation health across different land cover types mentioned in the description.
• Model the spatial distribution of wind farm impacts at a national scale based on the dataset's coverage of China.
• Validate remote sensing methodologies for monitoring energy infrastructure impacts using the provided code and data.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 254.4 MB, suggesting substantial content.
• Includes results for 675 distinct wind farm sites.
• Provides both annual and seasonal impact analyses for two key environmental variables.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update was 2026-05-12 01:11:06.
