Replication data for: Seasonal Response of Grasslands to Climate Change on

Natural Environment, Climate ChangeChinaThe World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

Dataset Objective

To detect change trends in grassland activity on the Tibetan Plateau between 1982 and 2006 and relate these to changes in climate.

Context

Monitoring vegetation dynamics and their responses to climate change has been the subject of considerable research. The aim was to detect change trends in grassland activity on the Tibetan Plateau between 1982 and 2006 and relate these to changes in climate

What is included

Data contains different vegetation indexes

Collection Methods

Remote sensing - Grassland activity was analyzed by evaluating remotely sensed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data collected at 15-day intervals between 1982 and 2006.
