Vegetation Vulnerability and Hydro-Climatic Drivers in Northern China (1982–2022)

Spatial datasets of vegetation vulnerability and hydro-climatic drivers under compound dry–hot conditions in northern China (1982–2022) were created by Bo Yuan. The dataset includes raster products for vegetation loss probability, hydro-climatic driver variables, event characteristics, and static environmental variables. It is 36.0 MB in size and was last updated on 2026-05-12.

Use Cases

• Model vegetation loss probability based on changes in temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure deficit, soil moisture, and soil temperature.
• Analyze the intensity and frequency of compound dry–hot events across northern China.
• Assess environmental controls on vegetation vulnerability using static variables like elevation, slope, soil organic carbon, and available water capacity.

Strengths

• Covers a 41-year time range from 1982 to 2022.
• Includes multiple hydro-climatic driver variables such as temperature, precipitation, VPD, soil moisture, and soil temperature.
• Contains static environmental variables like elevation, slope, SOC, and AWC for contextual analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 36.0 MB size suggests a relatively small spatial dataset, potentially limiting granularity.
