LCZ

This dataset contains the data used to investigate the lagged relationship between Local Climate Zone (LCZ) pattern evolution and Urban Heat Island Intensity (UHII) in Xi’an, China, during 2017–2025. It includes LCZ composition and conversion data, landscape pattern metrics (AI, PLADJ, SPLIT, SHDI, SIDI, CONTAG, SIEI, and LPI), annual UHII data, and cross-correlation results. The dataset supports the analysis of interannual LCZ evolution, landscape pattern changes, and their lagged effects on UHII.
