TY - Data T1 - Dataset of Desertification Trends in Northern China over the Next 30 Years (2021-2050) A1 - Yang Kai A1 - Yang Jintao A1 - Wang Zhenting A1 - Zhang Caixia DO - 10.12072/ncdc.desertification.db7174.2026 PY - 2026 DA - 2026-03-13 PB - National Cryosphere Desert Data Center AB - This dataset covers the northern region of China from 2021 to 2050 and estimates the possible trend of desertification under the future high emission scenario RCP8.5 (Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5). utilize CMIP5(Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5)–CESM(Community Earth System Model) The data from the future RCP8.5 scenario serves as initial and boundary conditions to drive the WRF4.2 (Weather Research & Forecasting Model version 4.2) model to simulate the desertification trend in northern China over the next 30 years (2021-2050).
