Zoige Alpine Peatland Carbon–Water Ecosystem Service Dataset (1990–2024)

This dataset provides 30 m land-cover, carbon storage, water-yield and water-conservation layers, plus 1 km analysis grids and tabular summaries for the Zoige alpine peatland, 1990–2024. It supports reproducibility and secondary analyses of carbon–water trade-offs and ecosystem-service indicator interpretation. Carbon storage covers five assessment years (0–100 cm soil carbon; water and built-up land excluded); water conservation is an annual water-balance indicator with terrain, conductivity and flow-velocity corrections. Management zones are threshold-relative and should not be treated as degradation maps.
