摘要

Accurate land cover data was fundamental for formulating sound land planning and sustainable development strategies. This study focused on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), a globally sensitive ecological area, and developed a locally tailored annual 30 m resolution land cover dataset from 1990 to 2023 (TPLCD). Leveraging the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform for Landsat data processing, LandTrendr was employed to generate robust, high-precision training samples. Subsequently, random forest classification and spatiotemporal smoothing strategies were applied to precisely map the land cover dynamics of the TP. Rigorous validation through visual interpretation, authoritative third-party datasets (Geo-Wiki and GLCVSS), and thematic dataset cross-comparisons, revealed an overall accuracy of 84.8%, and a Kappa coefficient of 0.78, fully affirming the dataset’s high reliability. This dataset provided invaluable empirical evidence for understanding the vulnerability and adaptability of the TP’s ecosystem.
