1. This is the dataset described by the data paper "A national urban land use/cover change dataset in China, 2000-2018" submitted to Earth System Science Data (ESSD). 2. The dataset includes the following subsets, i.e. urban boundary (named as "Urban_Year.tif", like "Urban_2000.tif"), urban green space fraction (named as "UGS_Year_Province.tif", like "UGS_2000_Anhui.tif"), urban impervious surface area fraction (named as "UISA_Year_Province.tif", like "UISA_2000_Anhui.tif"). 3. The urban impervious surface area and urban green space datasets are showed by the percentage in a grid. In order for data storage, the data were amplified by 1000 times and converted into integer storage. 4. The detail information of datasets is listed in description.xlsx 5. Some sample mapping were listed in Samples.zip. 6. If you have any questions, please contact Wenhui Kuang (kuangwh@igsnrr.ac.cn). Related publications with this dataset.
