This study investigated the asynchronous changes between canopy cover and evapotranspiration before and after forest disturbance across different vegetation zones, and analyzed the effects of habitat conditions and site-specific factors on evapotranspiration recovery. During the analysis, a series of vegetation greenness indices, forest functional parameters, and climatic and environmental variables were used. All of these variables are publicly available and can be accessed through open platforms, including:<br>1.This study utilized a series of vegetation greenness indices and forest functional parameters derived from MODIS and Landsat satellite data on the GEE platform. The ET data were obtained from the "MODIS/061/MOD16A2GF" dataset (Running, Mu, Zhao, &amp; Moreno, 2019); EVI and NDVI data were obtained from the "MODIS/061/MOD13Q1" dataset (Didan, 2021); LAI and FPAR data were obtained from the "MODIS/061/MOD15A2H" dataset (Myneni, Knyazikhin, &amp; Park, 2015); NBR data were obtained from the public dataset "LANDSAT/COMPOSITES/C02/T1_L2_8DAY_NBR"; GEDI data were obtained from the public dataset "LARSE/GEDI/GEDI02_A_002_MONTHLY".2.Environmental and climatic data for the forest plots were obtained from the ERA5 dataset developed by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) (Store, 2017). Topographic data were obtained from the global 30 m × 30 m resolution digital elevation model (DEM) dataset released by the European Space Agency (ESA) (Riegler, Hennig, &amp; Weber, 2015). Canopy cover data were obtained from the 1985–2023 time series of tree cover in China developed by Cai et al. (2023).3.This study referenced the forest disturbance distribution maps of China (1986–2020) produced by Liu et al. (2023), as well as the 30-meter resolution land use change maps of China developed by Yang et al. (2021), to identify forest areas with potential for recovery following disturbance events in 2005 and 2006.<br>References<br>Cai, Y., Xu, X., Zhu, P., Nie, S., Wang, C., Xiong, Y., &amp; Liu, X.
