The thickness of the active layer of the three pole permafrost combines two sets of data products. The main reference data is the annual value of the active layer thickness from 1990 to 2015 generated by GCM model simulation. The data format of this data set is netcdf4 format, with a spatial resolution of 0.5 ° and a temporal resolution of years. The reference correction data set is the average value of active layer thickness from 2000 to 2015 simulated by statistical and machine learning (ML) methods. The data format is GeoTIFF format, the spatial resolution is 0.1 °, and the data unit is m. Through post-processing operations such as data format conversion, spatial interpolation, data correction, etc., this research work generates the permafrost active layer thickness data in netcdf4 format, with a spatial resolution of 0.1 °, a temporal resolution of years, a time range of 1990-2015, and a data unit of CM.

The Qinghai Tibet Plateau is known as the "Asian water tower", and its runoff, as an important and easily accessible water resource, supports the production and life of billions of people around, and supports the diversity of ecosystems. Accurately estimating the runoff of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and revealing the variation law of runoff are conducive to water resources management and disaster risk avoidance in the plateau and its surrounding areas. The glacier runoff segmentation data set covers the five river source areas of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau from 1971 to 2015, with a time resolution of year by year, covering the five river source areas of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau (the source of the Yellow River, the source of the Yangtze River, the source of the Lancang River, the source of the Nujiang River, and the source of the Yarlung Zangbo River), and the spatial resolution is the watershed. Based on multi-source remote sensing and measured data, it is simulated using the distributed hydrological model vic-cas coupled with the glacier module, The simulation results are verified with the measured data of the station, and all the data are subject to quality control.

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.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its surrounding alpine areas have bred a high degree of plant diversity, and their composition sources are complex. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is not only the distribution center of modern alpine plants, but also inextricably linked with plants in other areas. The plants growing in this area have unique gene resources to adapt to the plateau environment. Due to the limit of technology, the mining and utilization of plant gene resources in this area is still in its infancy. Through comparative genomics research on two species of Gentianaceae, we can analyze the genomic effect of plant mating system evolution, discover the key genes related to selfing, and explore the maintenance mechanism of plant hybrid mating system. The content of this data collection is listed as follows: the original genome data of the Halenia elliptica and the Halenia grandiflora , including the third-generation pacbio sequencing data of Halenia elliptica and the Halenia grandiflora, and the second-generation Illumina sequencing data of the Halenia elliptica and the Halenia grandiflora.

This dataset is a raster dataset of annual rainfall erosivity on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 1960 to 2019. The rainfall erosivity was calculated using the daily rainfall data of 129 stations in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its surrounding 150km range, of which 74 stations were located inside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and 55 stations were located outside. The calculation method is consistent with the algorithm of the first national Water Resources Inventory, using WGS_ 1984 coordinate system and Albers projection (central meridian 105°E, standard parallels 25°N and 47°N), and then Kriging interpolation is carried out year by year to generate grid map with spatial resolution of 250m. Rainfall erosivity is the main dynamic factor of soil erosion, and it is also the basic factor calculated by models such as CSLE and RUSLE. The integrated daily rainfall data of long-time series has high data accuracy, which improves the accuracy of rainfall erosivity estimation, and also helpful to further accurately estimate the amount of soil erosion on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau.

The population, grain, grain sown area and year-end data sets are extracted from the provincial and prefecture level statistical yearbooks of Qinghai, Tibet, Xinjiang, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan for many consecutive years. The missing data are interpolated as follows: 1. To ensure the accuracy of county data, Some counties and cities have been merged in this data (there may be errors in dividing and imputing the data for 20 years according to the proportion, but there will certainly be no problem in the merger, and the county area is small, so it is merged). 2. Xiahe County and cooperative city are merged into Xiahe County (cooperative city was separated from Xiahe County in 1998). 3. Gucheng district and Yulong County are merged into Gucheng district (Lijiang County was divided into Gucheng district and Yulong County in 2003). 4. The inner city district, East City District, West City District The four districts in Chengbei district have been merged into the district directly under the central government of Xining City (because the population of the four districts is given separately or the sum is given, and the total area of the four districts is only 487 square kilometers, they are merged). 5. For some missing data, curve fitting has been carried out in combination with similar years, and R2 is between 0.85-0.99. 6. In order to ensure the accuracy of the data, change maps have been prepared County by county

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (LST) dataset is original from MODIS products and preprocessed by format conversion, projection and resampling. The existing format is TIFF and projection is Krasovsky_1940_Albers. The data set has a spatial resolution of 1000 meters and provides one image per year during the period from 2001 to 2020. NDVI products are calculated by reflectance of red and near-infrared bands, which can be used to detect vegetation growth state and vegetation coverage. NDVI is ranged from -1 to 1, and the negative value means the land is covered by snow, water, etc. By contrast, positive value means vegetation coverage, and the coverage increases with the increase of NDVI.
