This dataset provides a detailed reflection of the distribution status, horizontal and vertical zonation patterns of 796 vegetation units in 11 vegetation type groups and 54 vegetation types in China. It also reflects the actual distribution status of over 2000 plant dominant species, major crops, and economic crops in China, as well as the close relationship between dominant species and soil and ground geology. As this dataset belongs to the current vegetation map species, it reflects the recent quality status of vegetation in China
The shp vector data attribute item and the Chinese English bilingual legend content both include 12 items: 1. Vege_id (i.e. vegetation formation number); 2. New number; 3. Vegetation formation and sub formation; 4. Vegetation type number; 5. Vegetation type; 6. Vegetation type group number; 7. Vegetation type group; 8. Vegetation category; 9. Vegetation formation and sub formation; 10. Vegetation type (English for vegetation type); 11. Vegetation type group; 12. Vegetation mega group
This dataset is sourced from the 1:1000000 China Vegetation Atlas. This atlas is another summary achievement of vegetation ecologists in China over the past 40 years, following the publication of monographs such as "Chinese Vegetation". It is a fundamental map of the country's natural resources and conditions. This atlas is a quarto edition with 280 pages, including 60 1:1000000 vegetation type maps of China, 1 1:1000000 topographic map of China, 1 vegetation map of China, and 1 vegetation zoning map of China, with Chinese and English comparative legends attached. The atlas was compiled by academician Hou Xueyu, a famous vegetation ecologist, and co compiled by more than 250 experts from 53 units, including relevant research institutes, relevant ministries and commissions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, relevant departments of provinces and regions, and colleges and universities. It was officially published by the Science Press and publicly distributed at home and abroad
Scan, digitize, and edit the attributes of 60 1:1000000 segmented Chinese vegetation type maps in the "1:1000000 Chinese Vegetation Atlas" according to mapping standards in ArcGIS and other environments
The data quality is good. Map scanning, digital acquisition, attribute editing, and other tasks are all edited and quality checked in accordance with mapping standards. The minimum patch area meets the requirements of 1:1000000 mapping, and errors are controlled within the allowable range
