Dataset of the yearly Eco-Environmental Quality in the Yellow River Basin

In this study, we constructed a modified Remote Sensing Ecological Index (MRSEI) to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of ecological quality in the YRB from 2004 to 2023. Furthermore, we incorporated the Aridity Index (AI) and examined correlations between temperature, AI, and MRSEI using the Pearson correlation analysis. Finally, land cover type conversion was employed to interpret ecological variations detected by the MRSEI dynamic ratio. Regarding data files and contents:The AI compressed file contains the dataset of surface dryness/wetness conditions (AI index) in the Yellow River Basin from 2004 to 2023.The CLCD compressed file contains the land use type datasets for the years 2004, 2013, 2014, and 2023.The RSEI compressed file contains the dataset of ecological quality conditions in the Yellow River Basin from 2004 to 2023.The TEMP compressed file contains the dataset of land surface temperature in the Yellow River Basin from 2004 to 2023.
