Abstract

Accurate land cover data was fundamental for formulating sound land planning and sustainable development strategies. This study focused on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), a globally sensitive ecological area, and developed a locally tailored annual 30 m resolution land cover dataset from 1990 to 2023 (TPLCD). Leveraging the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform for Landsat data processing, LandTrendr was employed to generate robust, high-precision training samples. Subsequently, random forest classification and spatiotemporal smoothing strategies were applied to precisely map the land cover dynamics of the TP. Rigorous validation through visual interpretation, authoritative third-party datasets (Geo-Wiki and GLCVSS), and thematic dataset cross-comparisons, revealed an overall accuracy of 84.8%, and a Kappa coefficient of 0.78, fully affirming the dataset's high reliability. This dataset provided invaluable empirical evidence for understanding the vulnerability and adaptability of the TP's ecosystem.

期刊介绍： Scientific Data is an open-access journal focused on data, publishing descriptions of research datasets and articles on data sharing across natural sciences, medicine, engineering, and social sciences. Its goal is to enhance the sharing and reuse of scientific data, encourage broader data sharing, and acknowledge those who share their data. The journal primarily publishes Data Descriptors, which offer detailed descriptions of research datasets, including data collection methods and technical analyses validating data quality. These descriptors aim to facilitate data reuse rather than testing hypotheses or presenting new interpretations, methods, or in-depth analyses.
