The data include soil organic matter data of Tibetan Plateau , with a spatial resolution of 1km*1km and a time coverage of 1979-1985.The data source is the soil carbon content generated from the second soil census data.Soil organic matter mainly comes from plants, animals and microbial residues, among which higher plants are the main sources.The organisms that first appeared in the parent material of primitive soils were microorganisms.With the evolution of organisms and the development of soil forming process, animal and plant residues and their secretions become the basic sources of soil organic matter.The data is of great significance for analyzing the ecological environment of Tibetan Plateau

Photosynthesis is a key process linking carbon and water cycles, and satellite-retrieved solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) can be a valuable proxy for photosynthesis. The TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on the Copernicus Sentinel-5P mission enables significant improvements in providing high spatial and temporal resolution SIF observations, but the short temporal coverage of the data records has limited its applications in long-term studies. We use machine learning to reconstruct TROPOMI SIF (RTSIF) over the 2001–2020 period in clear-sky conditions with high spatio-temporal resolutions (0.05°, 8-day). Our machine learning model achieves high accuracies on the training and testing datasets (R^2 = 0.907, regression slope = 1.001). The RTSIF dataset is validated against TROPOMI SIF and tower-based SIF, and compared with other satellite-derived SIF (GOME-2 SIF and OCO-2 SIF). Comparing RTSIF with Gross Primary Production (GPP) illustrates the potential of RTSIF for estimating gross carbon fluxes. We anticipate that this new dataset will be valuable in assessing long-term terrestrial photosynthesis and constraining the global carbon budget and associated water fluxes.

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) has been widely used for monitoring vegetation. This dataset employed all available Landsat 5/7/8 data on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) (> 100,000 scenes), and reconstructed high spatiotemporal NDVI time-series data (30-m and 8-d) during 2000-2020 on the TP (QTP-NDVI30) by using the MODIS-Landsat fusion algorithm (gap filling and Savitzky–Golay filtering；GF-SG). For the details of GF-SG, please refer to Chen et al. (2021). This dataset has been evaluated carefully. The quantitative assessments show that the reconstructed NDVI images have an average MAE value of 0.02, correlation coefficient of 0.96, and SSIM value of 0.94. We compared the reconstructed images in some typical areas with the PlanetScope 3-m images and found that the spatial details were well preserved by QTP-NDVI30. The geographic coordinate system of this dataset is GCS_WGS_84. The spatial range covers the vegetation area of the QTP, which is defined as the areas with average NDVI during July- September larger than 0.15.

Project based on Landsat_ Through manual interpretation and machine learning algorithm, tm30m remote sensing data has completed the extraction of spatial pattern distribution information of six types of ecosystems in Qilian Mountains from 1990 to 2015, including forest, farmland, grassland, wetland, settlement city and desert. This set of data can be used to study the evolution law of regional ecosystem macro pattern, ecosystem service function evaluation, major ecological restoration project planning and effect evaluation. The evolution of ecosystem macro pattern is a macro response to the evolution of natural processes driven by climate socio-economic coupling. It is also a direct reflection of land use and land cover changes. It is also an important data basis for the evaluation of the effectiveness of regional sustainable development. The research can provide data basis for the evaluation of green development index in Qilian mountain area.

Based on the non survey method, referring to the provincial input-output table and county-level statistical data of the Qilian Mountain region, the project compiled the input-output table of the Qilian Mountain Region in 2017. This table provides a data basis for analyzing the production and consumption of regional economy and the virtual water resources contained in its products or services. The input-output table uses the input-output tables of Qinghai Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Gansu Province in 2017, analyzes the industrial production, residents' consumption and interregional trade information of districts and counties included in the Qilian Mountains, and constructs the input-output table of the Qilian Mountains. The input-output table is the characterization of the regional macroeconomic structure and the level of regional products or services.

A dataset of spatio-temporal change of physical and virtual water in Qilian Mountains: Using the single-region input-output method, and the 2012 input-output table of Qilian Mountains, we developed a physical water-virtual water conversion model and explored the virtual water among different departments in Qilian Mountains in 2012. The law of water flow provides a theoretical basis for the optimal allocation of water resources in the natural-society complex system for the research on the optimal allocation of "mountains, waters, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand" in the Qilian Mountains. It has been verified that this dataset has achieved the balance between the physical water consumption and the total virtual water consumption of various departments in the Qilian Mountains in 2012, indicating that the data is reliable. This data can provide a basis for the optimal allocation of water resources in the Qilian Mountains.

Paleozoic carbonate sequences are well developed along the road from the Leiwuqi County to the Jiangda County, Changdu, eastern Tibet. Preliminary Devonian-Carboniferous biostratigraphy studies based on macro-fauna (e.g. brachiopods and corals) have been conducted by previous researchers, but high-resolution subdivision and correlation is still lacking in study area. For example, Upper Devonian Zhuogedong Formation and Lower Carboniferous Wuqingna Formation exists near Tuoba and Wuqingna village. Abundant conodonts, rock and geochemical samples from the Nuoma section in Tuoba, Karuo District, Changdu have been collected, which was assigned to the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary interval by geological survey. Our studies would provide precise biostratigraphic correlation in this area and have important significance for redefinition of the DCB GSSP. This dataset includes the stratigraphic column and outcrop photo of the Nuoma section in Changdu (GPS coordinates: 97°49’53.06’’ E, 31°27’2.94’’ N). According to the conodont data, the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary is tentatively placed within the interval between 141 m to 188 m in this section.

The Ediacaran to early Cambrian representing the transition of Cryptozoic to Phanerozoic is one of the most important transitional periods in the earth system evolution and a hot period for the study of the origin and evolution of metazoan. Focusing on this scientific question, massive interdisciplinary studies including palaeontology, stratigraphy, geochemistry, geophysics etc. have been taken in many regions which significantly improve our understandings of this period. In the Himalaya zone, the correlative strata only have been reported and studies in a few regions in the Sub Indian Continent. The North Pakistan locating the western Himalaya is one of the adjoining areas of Tibet Plateau. For the lack of basic stratigraphic and palaeontological studies, it’s hard to confirm the exact age of the Neoproterozoic to early Cambrian strata assigned by the previous studies. Thus, for the establishment of the chronological framework in western Himalaya, it’s necessary to do more detailed investigations and sample collections to sort out the sedimentary sequence, biostratigraphy and chemostratigraphy of this interval in North Pakistan. During the expeditions in the Hazara Basin, we detailedly observed the lithostratigraphy and systematically collected samples for petrological, palaeontological and geochemical studies at Sikhar Mountain, Tarnawai Village, Salhad Village, Abbottabad Height, Sobangali, Neelor Village and Pindkhan Khel sections. The result of this preliminary investigation confirmed that the Hazara Basin deposited a relatively successive Ediacaran to early Cambrian strata.
