Abstract:

The Ecosystem Quality Index (EQI) is an important indicator for characterizing the structural integrity and functional stability of ecosystems. The yearly/250-m raster dataset of Ecosystem Quality Index (EQI) of China (2007-2024) was developed based on the Technical specifications for national ecological status survey and assessment (HJ 1172—2021), integrated with multi-source remote sensing data, including Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC), Leaf Area Index (LAI), and Gross Primary Productivity (GPP). The dataset has a spatial resolution of 250 m. The dataset is archived in .tif format, and consists of 54 data files with data size of 31.3 GB (compressed into 9 files with 6.55 GB). The dataset provides high-resolution and long-term data support for ecosystem monitoring, regional differentiation analysis, and territorial spatial planning.
