Dataset of key elements of desertification in Central and Western Asia (Amu River Basin) (1990 2000 2010)

Data set of key elements of desertification in Central and Western Asia (Amu river Basin), includes three parts: lakes distribution data, vegetation coverage data and NPP data. The spatial resolution of lakes distribution data and vegetation coverage data is 30 m, and includes three periods: 1990, 2000 and 2010. It is based on the interpretation and calculation of TM/ETM data; The spatial resolution of NPP data is 500 m, and includes two periods: 2000 and 2010 (Since no MODIS data in 1990, there is no 1990 data). It is based on the calculation of MODIS data. The data produced by the key laboratory of remote sensing and GIS, Xinjiang institute of ecology and geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Data production Supported by the Strategic Priority Research Program of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Grant No. XDA20030101.
