Variational characteristics of vegetation recovery period under extreme drought across various land cover types in Guizhou Province, China

This dataset provides key tabular data generated during the analysis of drought events and vegetation recovery processes in Guizhou Province, China. It includes four main components: (1) monthly mean Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) values; (2) de-trended and de-seasonalized MODIS GPP (Gross Primary Productivity) data from 2000 to 2021; (3) drought characteristic indicators such as drought onset, termination, duration, and severity; and (4) vegetation recovery period data following drought events. All data are stored in Excel files, organized by drought event or variable, with clear labeling and standardized formats for easy reuse. This dataset enables research on drought impacts, ecosystem resilience, vegetation recovery, and climate adaptation strategies, particularly in karst and non-karst regions. It can be reused for ecological modeling, cross-regional comparative studies, or validating drought and recovery metrics. All data are derived from publicly available remote sensing and climate sources; no personal, sensitive, or identifiable information is included. There are no legal or ethical restrictions on the use of this dataset, provided proper citation is given.
