Data associated with the article "A spatiotemporal framework to assess the bio-geomorphic interplay of saltmarsh vegetation and tidal emergence (Western Scheldt estuary)"

In the publication associated with this dataset we study the links between changed emergence and plant diversity/cover by using emersion duration maps and vegetation maps of the Dutch Western Scheldt estuary over a period of decades (1993-2016). Using open-source maps of emersion duration, elevation, vegetation, and ecotopes from Rijkswaterstaat, we preprocessed the data in Google Earth Engine (GEE) and ArcGIS. The pixel-based or formatted data tables were then exported after integrating all data for further analysis and visualization in R. This dataset contains the processed data and R code used for generating all figures in the article. We also list original data sources in the descriptive files.

本数据集关联的研究论文中，我们以1993至2016年数十年间荷兰西部斯海尔德河口的潮汐露出时长地图与植被地图为基础，探究了淹露变化与植物多样性、植被覆盖度之间的关联。我们采用来自荷兰公共工程与水资源管理局（Rijkswaterstaat）的开源潮汐露出时长、高程、植被及生态区地图，在谷歌地球引擎（Google Earth Engine, GEE）与ArcGIS中完成了数据预处理工作。在整合全部数据后，我们导出了基于像素的格式化数据表，用于后续在R语言环境中开展分析与可视化研究。本数据集包含了论文中所有图表生成所需的预处理数据与R代码。我们还在数据集的描述文件中列明了原始数据源。
