Agricultural expansion reverses the natural trend of dust activity in inland China

This dataset includes chronological and grain size data from four loess-paleosol sequences in the western Chinese Loess Plateau and the Hexi Corridor, along with dust activity days, cultivated area, precipitation, and sand-driving wind days recorded at five national meteorological stations. Additionally, it includes historical data on cultivated area and population in China. Overall, this dataset provides a basis for understanding the natural and anthropogenic drivers of dust activity in inland China.本数据集收录了中国黄土高原西部与河西走廊地区4处黄土-古土壤序列的年代学与粒度数据，以及由5个国家级气象站观测记录得到的扬尘日数、耕地面积、降水量与起沙风日数。此外，本数据集还包含中国历史耕地面积与人口数据。总体而言，本数据集为解析中国内陆地区扬尘活动的自然与人为驱动因子提供了数据基础。
