China's land cover dataset includes five products:

1) Glc2000.glc2000 china.asc is a Chinese subset of global land cover data based on SPOT4 remote sensing data developed by glc2000 project. The data name is glc2000.glc2000 China regional land cover data is directly cut from global coverage data. Please refer to http://www-gvm.jrc.it/glc2000/defaultglc2000.htm for its data description

2) igbp_lucc_1km_China.asc, a subset of China based on AVHRR remote sensing data supported by IGBP-DIS, with the data name IGBPDIS; the IGBPDIS data was prepared using the USGS method, using the AVHRR data from April 1992 to the IGBPDIS data was developed using the USGS methodology, using AVHRR data from April 1992 to March 1992 to develop global land cover data at 1km resolution, and the classification system was adopted from the classification system developed by the IGBP, dividing the world into 17 categories. It was developed on a continental basis. Applying 12 months of maximised synthetic NDVI information from AVHRR,

3) MODIS ﹣ LUCC ﹣ 1km ﹣ China ﹣ 2001.asc, MODIS land cover data product China subset, the data name is MODIS; MODIS China regional land cover data is directly cut from the global coverage data, and its data description please refer to http://edcdaac.usgs.gov/modis/mod12q1v4.asp.

4) UMD ﹣ LUCC ﹣ 1km ﹣ china.asc is a Chinese subset of global land cover data based on AVHRR data produced by the University of Maryland. The data name is UMD. After recombining the suggested data matrix, UMD carries out the global land cover classification with the method of classification tree. Its purpose is to build a data with higher precision than the past data. The classification system adopts IGBP classification scheme to a great extent.

5) WESTDC · LUCC · 1km · china.asc, the land cover data of 1:100000 in 2000 organized and implemented by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was merged and transformed into vector grid (area maximum method). Finally, the national 1km land use data product was obtained, with the data name of WESTDC. WESTDC China regional land cover data is based on the results of the 1:100000 land resource survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is divided into different areas according to the county, and combined with the vector grid transformation (area maximum method). Finally, the national land use data products are obtained. Adopt the classification system of resources and environment of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
