TY - Data T1 - Data set of impervious water surface in lower Yangtze River A1 - Shang Shouwei DO - 10.12072/ncdc.nhri.db6767.2025 PY - 2025 DA - 2025-02-27 PB - National Cryosphere Desert Data Center AB - This study analyzes the impervious surfaces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River based on the Global Year-by-Year Changes in Impervious Surfaces: 1985-2018 dataset. The spatial distribution pattern of impervious surfaces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River has a high degree of similarity with that of the built-up land, with impervious surfaces distributed in the large cities such as Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Nanjing, Hefei, and Hangzhou before 2000. Before 2000, impervious surfaces were mainly distributed in Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Nanjing, Hefei, and Hangzhou, etc. After 2000, while the radial expansion of impervious surfaces along the large cities, the impervious surfaces of small and medium-sized towns also developed rapidly, and by 2010, the cities of Nanjing, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, and Shanghai in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River had gradually formed a pattern of contiguity.
