Dataset for landscape pattern analysis: relationships of climatic variables and NDVI

The dataset is derived from the Hungarian part of the CarpatClim database (https://doi.org/10.1002/joc.4059) and the MODIS MOD13Q1 16 days 250 m (https://doi.org/10.5067/MODIS/MOD13Q1.006) between 2000-2010, using bivariate linear regression on monthly data. The 1038 points represent 1038 R-squared (R2) values of the regressions. R2 values reflect the strength of relationship between aridity, precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, maximum temperature and the normalized vegetation index (NDVI). For spatial analysis, we provided the codes of Hungarian macro regions, land cover and topography data (terrain height, slope and aspect).
