No.2 National-scale 10-m maps of cropland use intensity in China during 2018-2023

There were three groups of national-scale datasets on cropland use intensity over conterminous China during the study period (2018-2023). The first group of datasets was the cropland use intensity dataset for each year. Five 10-m national scale cropland use intensity maps (ChinaCUI10m) were provided for China during 2018-2023. The second group of datasets was the newly derived 10-m cropland dataset (ChinaCropland10m) based on historical cropping activities. The historical cropland use intensity during 2018-2023 was summarized and the ChinaCropland10m was produced through discarding pixels with values of zero (cropland should be actively cropped for at least once during the past five years). The third group of datasets was the degree of intensification revealed by averaged cropland use intensity (ChinaMeanCI10m) based on historical CUI datasets in China during 2018-2023. The datasets are available at the Figshare repository in a Geotiff format. The dataset is provided in ESPG: 4326 (WGS_1984) spatial reference system.
