A Global Collection of Near-Surface Camera Sites with Associated Environmental and Phenological Information

This dataset compiles a global collection of sites from near-surface camera networks, each accompanied by contextual information on environmental conditions and vegetation phenology. The sites span a range of biomes and climate zones, and include general attributes such as soil properties, climate variables, and seasonal vegetation dynamics. The dataset integrates sites from several regional networks, e.g. NSCam, PhenoCam, EPCN, APN, PEN, BPN, IPN. The collection is assembled from various sources and harmonized to provide a broad overview of site conditions, which offers a useful reference for studies involving ecological and agricultural monitoring, remote sensing validation, and vegetation dynamics at different spatial and temporal scales.

本数据集整合了全球范围内近地面相机网络的观测站点，每个站点均配套有环境条件与植被物候（vegetation phenology）的相关上下文信息。这些站点覆盖多样的生物群区与气候带，包含土壤属性、气候变量、季相植被动态等通用特征参数。本数据集整合了NSCam、PhenoCam、EPCN、APN、PEN、BPN、IPN等多个区域网络的观测站点。该数据集汇集自多类数据源，并经过统一标准化处理，可全面呈现各站点的环境状况，可为不同时空尺度下的生态与农业监测、遥感验证以及植被动态相关研究提供重要参考依据。
