Abstract
<p indent="0mm">Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is one of the most commonly used remote sensing indexes for vegetation research. Long-term NDVI data is of great significance on the study of vegetation change. This dataset contains the monthly maximum synthesized NDVI data in China from 1982 to 2020. It is mainly based on the NOAA CDR AVHRR NDVI product using the rgee package in R to call Google Earth Engine for monthly maximum synthesis and cropping. This dataset can reflect the spatio-temporal changes of China′s NDVI from 1982 to 2020, and can provide long-term data series for vegetation change analysis and ecological monitoring in China.
