Geospatial and Climate Dataset for Green Economy-Based Assessment of Afforestation Impacts on Microclimate and Soil Moisture Indicators

This dataset contains geospatial boundary data, centroid coordinates, boundary coordinates, a study area map, and NASA POWER climate data for an afforestation area located in the Shirvan-Salyan Economic Region of Azerbaijan. The afforestation area covers approximately 1113 hectares, where 1,517,976 trees were planted during 2009–2010. The dataset was prepared to support the scientific research project titled “Green Economy-Based Assessment of Afforestation Impacts on Microclimate and Soil Moisture Indicators.” The geospatial data include KMZ, KML, GeoJSON, PDF map, centroid coordinates, and boundary coordinate files. The climate dataset was extracted from the NASA POWER Data Access Viewer using the centroid coordinates of the study area. The climate data cover the period 2005–2025 and include temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, solar radiation, and UV index variables. This dataset is intended to support ecological-economic assessment, green economy analysis, microclimate evaluation, and reproducible spatial analysis of afforestation impacts. The afforestation area boundary map was obtained from the Forest Development Service under the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Azerbaijan and was further processed in QGIS for geospatial documentation and dataset preparation.
