Using canopy height (RH95) from the GEDI L2A lidar product as the target variable, it integrates multi-source data including Landsat 8 multispectral imagery, the AW3D30 digital elevation model, CGLS-LC100 vegetation cover type data, and GFCC30TC vegetation cover data to construct an 18-dimensional input feature system encompassing spatial location, spectral features, normalization index, topographic structure, and vegetation cover information. Covering multiple typical mountainous forest regions, this dataset effectively characterizes vegetation height variations under complex terrain and diverse forest structures through unified spatial and elevation benchmarks, rigorous GEDI spot quality control, and consistent multi-source feature construction. System experiments demonstrate that the VHP-Dataset stably supports various machine learning and deep learning methods for cross-regional vegetation height prediction, providing a reliable standardized data foundation for mountainous forest canopy height inversion and model comparison studies.
