The field survey uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) for positioning to ensure consistency of the surface cover type within about 1 km2 around the sample point. The data set includes: (1) geographical location information of 902 survey sample points;(2) 3,120 field photos;(3) detailed survey information: land cover type, vegetation name and coverage, topography and geomorphological characteristics, soil color, soil texture and photo number, etc. Data is stored in formats such as.shp,.jpg,.xlsx and.docx, with a total of 3,128 files, with a total data volume of 11.9 GB (compressed into 9 files, 11.9 GB).
