Abstract:

The valley region along the “Two Rivers and Four Streams” in the Xizang Autonomous Region is a core area for human settlement, ecological restoration, and desertification control in the cold, high-altitude valleys of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau; afforestation projects are of great significance to the construction of an ecological security barrier on the plateau. The Spatial Distribution Dataset of Planted Forest Based on TS2-ViT Model in the “Two Rivers and Four Streams” Region of Xizang, China (2021) was developed using Temporal-Spectral-Spatio Vision Transformer (TS2-ViT) model, integrated with Sentinel-1/2 images, forest age and planted forest sample data. The dataset includes: (1) spatial distribution of afforestation across the entire “Two Rivers and Four Streams” region in Xizang (30-m resolution); (2) afforestation data for the key study areas along the Nyangchu River, Lhasa River, and Yalong River (10-m resolution). The dataset is archived in .tif format, and consist of 26 data files with data size of 23.8 MB (compressed into one file with 892 KB).
