The data set records one belt, one road, 65 countries, 1961-2009 years of agricultural machinery (tractor) quantity and other relevant data. Agricultural machinery refers to the number of wheeled and tracked tractors (excluding horticultural tractors) used in agriculture at the end of a specified calendar year or the first quarter of the following year. Data source: Food and Agriculture Organization, electronic files and web site. Agricultural machinery reduces labor intensity, reduces hard labor, alleviates labor shortage, improves productivity and timeliness of agricultural activities, improves effective utilization of resources, increases market access, and helps reduce climate related hazards. In the future, agricultural machinery will play a greater role in ensuring the environmental sustainability of agriculture. The data set contains two data tables: Agricultural Machinery (tractors per 100 square kilometers of arable land), agricultural machinery (number of tractors).

The matching and zoning of water and land resources in Central Asian countries under the background of climate change can provide support for the development of water and land resources and agricultural production in Central Asian countries, and is of great significance to the social stability of the core region of the Silk Road Economic Belt. Based on the collected meteorological, water resources, land use and remote sensing data, the present situation of water and land resources development and utilization in Central Asia is analyzed. Based on the evaluating the characteristics and shortages of agricultural soil and water resources, using the DPSIR model and the theory of supply and demand, we constructed the index structure framework (SDCSL) of the study area, and the principal component analysis and cluster analysis are used to divide the regional of water and land resources utilization. Finally, we discussed the measures and ways to achieve the effective matching of agricultural water and land resources in different regions, so as to provide scientific reference and theoretical basis for the effective matching and sustainable development of regional agricultural water and land resources.

In order to study the relationship between the spread of cyanine and human activities, we will resequence the cyanine varieties from the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and its surrounding areas, as well as Pakistan, India, Nepal, Germany, Japan and other places. At the same time, we will cluster the gene families, and make statistics of unique, shared genes and gene families. In addition, we will also carry out the analysis of gene family expansion and contraction, and system development Tree construction, genome-wide replication events and other analysis. The aim is to analyze the molecular basis of adaptation of traditional species of cyanine to the plateau under the dual pressures of human activities and regional climate. Therefore, this study is helpful to reveal the adaptive mechanism of cyanine to adapt to the plateau ecological environment and the influence of artificial domestication and human selection on its genetic differentiation in the process of evolution.

The data set of agricultural activity intensity of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau is based on the County-Level Agricultural statistical data, including the annual cultivated land area, agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery labor force, total power of agricultural machinery, rural power consumption, effective irrigation area, pesticide use, fertilizer use, total output of grain crops, and total output value of agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. The agricultural input index and output index are taken as the first level indicators, and the unit cultivated land area is constructed The intensity index system of agricultural activity is composed of 10 indexes, such as total power of agricultural machinery, fertilizer application amount per unit cultivated area and labor productivity. Entropy method was used to determine the weight of each index, and the input-output index of county-level agriculture in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau was obtained by AHP. The basic data comes from the statistical data released by the National Bureau of statistics, and the original data has been approved and corrected, with high reliability. The input-output index, input-output index and input-output index of county level in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau from 1980s to 2015 included in the data set reflect the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of the intensity of agricultural production activities in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau to a certain extent, and provide data support and theoretical reference for the local agricultural development.

The Tibetan Plateau in China covers six provinces including Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Gansu and Sichuan, including Tibet and Qinghai, as well as parts of Xinjiang, Yunnan, Gansu and Sichuan. The research on water and soil resources matching aims to reveal the equilibrium and abundance of water resources and land resources in a certain regional scale. The higher the level of consistency between regional water resources and the allocation of cultivated land resources, the higher the matching degree, and the superior the basic conditions of agricultural production. The general agricultural water resource measurement method based on the unit area of cultivated land is used to reflect the quantitative relationship between the water supply of agricultural production in the study area and the spatial suitability of cultivated land resources. The Excel file of the data set contains the generalized agricultural soil and water resource matching coefficient data of the Tibetan Plateau municipal administrative region in China from 2008 to 2015, the vector data is the boundary data of the Tibetan Plateau municipal administrative region in China in 2004, and the raster data pixel value is the generalized agricultural soil and water resource matching coefficient of the year in the region.

In order to explore how and when turnip was successfully domesticated the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and what is the relationship between turnip domestication and early human settlement on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and human migration along the ancient Silk Road, the whole genome De Novo sequencing of a self-bred F1 variety on Qinghai-Xizang Plateau was conducted, with the assembled genome size of 409.69 Mb,Contig N50 was 1.21 Mb in June 2018 using Pacbio sequencing. Those data will provide a genetic basis for elucidating the relationship between plant disperse and human activities. As we know, traditional turnip landrace is influenced by human domestication and nature selection. Hopefully, the study will help to understand the impacts of human selection on turnip genetic differentiation, and the adaptation mechanism of turnip in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

By applying Supply-demand Balance Analysis, the water resource supply and demand of the whole river basin and each county or district were calculated and used to evaluate the vulnerability of the water resources system of the basin. The IPAT equation was used to set a future water resource demand scenario to establish the scenario by setting variables such as future population growth rate, economic growth rate, and unit GDP water consumption. By taking 2005 as the base year and using assorted forecasting data of population size and economic scale, the future water demand scenarios of various counties and cities from 2010 to 2050 were predicted. By applying the basic structure of the HBV conceptual hydrological model of the Swedish Hydrometeorological Institute, a model of the variation tendency of the basin under climate change was designed. The glacial melting scenario was used as the model input to construct the runoff scenario under climate change. According to the national regulations of the water resources allocation of the basin, a water distribution plan was set up to calculate the water supply comprehensively. Considering of the supply and demand situation, the water resource system vulnerability was evaluated by the water shortage rate. By calculating the (grain production) land pressure index of the major counties and cities in the basin, the balance of supply and demand of land resources under the climate change, glacial melt and population growth scenarios was analyzed, and the vulnerability of the agricultural system was evaluated. The Miami formula and HANPP model were used to calculate the human appropriation of net primary biomass and primary biomass in the major counties and cities for the future, and the vulnerability of ecosystems from the perspective of supply and demand balance was assessed.
