China's High-Resolution Monitoring Product for Ecosystem Pattern and Quality

This dataset provides a nationwide, wall-to-wall characterization of China’s ecosystems, combining ecosystem pattern mapping with continuous ecosystem quality monitoring. It delivers spatially explicit layers that classify and delineate major ecosystem types. Complementary monitoring layers track ecosystem quality through time using remotely sensed and ancillary indicators. The coverage spans all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, ensuring consistent national comparability while supporting analyses from national to local scales. Typical applications include ecological status assessment, trend analysis, conservation planning, restoration prioritization, and policy evaluation.
