Data for "Seasonal Variations in Urban Heat Mitigation due to Vegetation Phenology Shifts in Beijing"

This repository provides the datasets supporting the analysis presented in the paper “Seasonal Variations in Urban Heat Mitigation due to Vegetation Phenology Shifts in Beijing.” The LAI.xlsx and FVC.xlsx contain time series and phenological dynamics of leaf area index (LAI) and fractional vegetation cover (FVC), derived from the GLASS dataset. The Simulated LST in the two scenarios.xlsx provides land surface temperature (LST) outputs from VIC-Urban simulations, quantified separately for Beijing, the Eco-Zone, and the Urban-Zone. The Energy budget change during 2010-2020.xlsx includes model outputs of net radiation, ground heat flux, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux for the period 2010–2020.
