%X The Qinghai Tibet Plateau has multiple vegetation types, ranging from broad-leaved and coniferous forests in low and medium altitude areas to high-altitude and arid alpine grasslands. Accurately and detailedly drawing vegetation distribution maps on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau is crucial for better understanding the impact of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. However, existing land cover datasets on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau either have low spatial resolution or insufficient vegetation types to characterize certain unique ecosystems, such as high-altitude gravel. Using state-of-the-art remote sensing methods, including Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images, environmental and terrain datasets, and machine learning models using the Google Earth Engine platform, a 10 m resolution TP land cover map for the year 2022 (referred to as TP_LC10-2022) was created, which includes 12 vegetation categories and 3 non vegetation categories.
