In order to make up for the lack of long-term soybean planting area maps in China, we firstly generated a dataset of soybean planting area with a spatial resolution of 10 m for major producing areas in China from 2017 to 2021 (ChinaSoyArea10m). Compared with existing datasets, ChinaSoyArea10m has higher consistency with census data and further improvement in spatial details. The dataset can provide reliable support for subsequent studies on yield monitoring and food security.

High-spatiotemporal-resolution rice yield datasets are limited over a large region. We proposed an explicit method to predict rice yield based on machine learning methods and generated a seasonal 4 km resolution rice yield dataset across Asia (AsiaRiceYield4km) for 1995–2015. The seasonal rice yield accuracy of AsiaRiceYield4km is high and much improved compared with previous datasets. AsiaRiceYield4km will fill the current data gap and better support agricultural monitoring systems.

We generated a 1 km daily soil moisture dataset for dryland wheat and maize across China (ChinaCropSM1 km) over 1993–2018 through random forest regression, based on in situ observations. Our improved products have a remarkably better quality compared with the public global products in terms of both spatial and time dimensions by integrating an irrigation module (crop type, phenology, soil depth). The dataset may be useful for agriculture drought monitoring and crop yield forecasting studies.

We generated a 4-km dataset of global wheat yield (GlobalWheatYield4km) from 1982 to 2020 using a deep learning approach. The dataset was highly consistent with observed yields, which captured 82 % of yield variations with RMSE of 619.8 kg/ha across all subnational regions and years. Our GlobalWheatYield4km can be applied for many purposes, including large-scale agricultural system modeling and climate change impact assessments.

The accurate planting area and spatial distribution information is the basis for ensuring food security at continental scales. We constructed a paddy rice map database in Southeast and Northeast Asia for 3 years (2017–2019) at a 10 m spatial resolution. There are fewer mixed pixels in our paddy rice map. The large-scale and high-resolution maps of paddy rice are useful for water resource management and yield monitoring.

Short summary
For the first time, we generated a 1 km gridded-phenology product for three staple crops in China during 2000–2015, called ChinaCropPhen1km. Compared with the phenological observations from the agricultural meteorological stations, the dataset had high accuracy, with errors of retrieved phenological date of less than 10 d. The well-validated dataset is sufficiently reliable for many applications, including improving the agricultural-system or earth-system modeling over a large area.

Short summary
Short summary
Mapping a rice calendar in a spatially explicit manner with a consistent framework remains challenging at a global or continental scale. We successfully developed a new gridded rice calendar for monsoon Asia based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images, which characterize transplanting and harvesting dates and the number of rice croppings in a comprehensive framework. Our rice calendar will be beneficial for rice management, production prediction, and the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions.

Short summary
Population data is crucial for human–nature interactions. Gridded population data can address limitations of census data in irregular units. In China, rapid urbanization necessitates timely and accurate population grids. However, existing datasets for China are either outdated or lack recent census data. Hence, a novel approach was developed to disaggregate China’s seventh census data into 100 m population grids. The resulting dataset outperformed the existing LandScan and WorldPop datasets.

We reconstructed annual cropland density and crop type maps, including nine major crop types (corn, soybean, winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, cotton, sorghum, barley, and rice), from 1850 to 2021 at 1 km × 1 km resolution. We found that the US total crop acreage has increased by 118 × 106 ha (118 Mha), mainly driven by corn (30 Mha) and soybean (35 Mha). Additionally, the US cropping diversity experienced an increase in the 1850s–1960s, followed by a decline over the past 6 decades.

Storage tanks are responsible for approximately 25 % of CH4 emissions in the atmosphere, exacerbating climate warming. Currently there is no publicly accessible storage tank inventory. We generated the first high-spatial-resolution (1–2 m) storage tank dataset (STD) over 92 typical cities in China in 2021, totaling 14 461 storage tanks with the construction year from 2000–2021. It shows significant agreement with CH4 emission spatially and temporally, promoting the CH4 control strategy proposal.

Sugarcane plays a vital role in food, biofuel, and farmer income globally, yet its cultivation faces numerous social and environmental challenges. Despite its significance, accurate mapping remains limited. Our study addresses this gap by introducing a novel 10m global dataset of sugarcane maps spanning 2019–2022. Comparisons with field data, pre-existing maps, and official government statistics all indicate the high precision and recall of our maps.

One of the major manifestations of global change is the alteration of natural vegetation landscapes by human reclamation. Here we reconstruct a unified set of long-term time series cropland area change datasets with standardized criteria. The cropland in Northeast China exhibited phase changes of expansion-reduction-expansion over the past millennium. Compared to global historical LUCC datasets, our dataset has significant time resolution and reliability.

To provide multifaceted changes under climate change and anthropogenic impacts, we estimated monthly vegetation and soil fractions in 2001–2022, providing an accurate estimate of surface heterogeneous composition, better than vegetation index and vegetation continuous-field products. We find a greening trend on Earth except for the tropics. A combination of interactive changes in vegetation and soil can be adopted as a valuable measurement of climate change and anthropogenic impacts.

We provide and compare country-level estimates of land-use CO2 fluxes from a variety and large number of models, bottom-up estimates, and country reports for the period 1950–2021. Although net fluxes are small in many countries, they are often composed of large compensating emissions and removals. In many countries, the estimates agree well once their individual characteristics are accounted for, but in other countries, including some of the largest emitters, substantial uncertainties exist.

Forest definition has two major biophysical parameters, i.e., canopy height and canopy coverage. However, few studies have assessed forest cover maps in terms of these two parameters at a large scale. Here, we assessed the annual forest cover maps in the Brazilian Amazon using 1.1 million footprints of canopy height and canopy coverage. Over 93 % of our forest cover maps are consistent with the FAO forest definition, showing the high accuracy of these forest cover maps in the Brazilian Amazon.

The state-of-the-art MODIS surface reflectance products suffer from temporal and spatial gaps, which make it difficult to characterize the continuous variation of the terrestrial surface. We proposed a framework for generating the first global 500 m daily seamless data cubes (SDC500), covering the period from 2000 to 2022. We believe that the SDC500 dataset can interest other researchers who study land cover mapping, quantitative remote sensing, and ecological science.

Assessing the benefits of crop diversification – a key element of agroecological transition – on a large scale requires a description of current crop sequences as a baseline, which is lacking at the scale of Europe. To fill this gap, we used a dataset that provides temporally and spatially incomplete land cover information to create a map of dominant crop sequence types for Europe over 2012–2018. This map is a useful baseline for assessing the benefits of future crop diversification.

Nowadays, a very-high-resolution land-cover (LC) map with national coverage is still unavailable in China, hindering efficient resource allocation. To fill this gap, the first 1 m resolution LC map of China, SinoLC-1, was built. The results showed that SinoLC-1 had an overall accuracy of 73.61 % and conformed to the official survey reports. Comparison with other datasets suggests that SinoLC-1 can be a better support for downstream applications and provide more accurate LC information to users.

The spatial extent of coconut palm is understudied despite its increasing demand and associated impacts. We present the first global coconut palm layer at 20 m resolution. The layer was produced using deep learning and remotely sensed data. The global coconut area estimate is 12.31 Mha for dense coconut palm, but the estimate is 3 times larger when sparse coconut palm is considered. This means that coconut production can likely increase on the lands currently allocated to coconut palm.

Most existing global urban products with future projections were developed in urban and non-urban categories, which ignores the gradual change of urban development at the local scale. Using annual global urban extent data from 1985 to 2015, we forecasted global urban fractional changes under eight scenarios throughout 2100. The developed dataset can provide spatially explicit information on urban fractions at 1 km resolution, which helps support various urban studies (e.g., urban heat island).

Striking differences exist in estimates of land-use CO2 fluxes between the national greenhouse gas inventories and the IPCC assessment reports. These differences hamper an accurate assessment of the collective progress under the Paris Agreement. By implementing an approach that conceptually reconciles land-use CO2 flux from national inventories and the global models used by the IPCC, our study is an important step forward for increasing confidence in land-use CO2 flux estimates.

We reconstructed land use and land cover (LULC) history for the conterminous United States during 1630–2020 by integrating multi-source data. The results show the widespread expansion of cropland and urban land and the shrinking of natural vegetation in the past four centuries. Forest planting and regeneration accelerated forest recovery since the 1920s. The datasets can be used to assess the LULC impacts on the ecosystem's carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles.

The accuracy of regional grassland aboveground biomass (AGB) is always limited by insufficient ground measurements and large spatial gaps with satellite pixels. This paper used more than 37 000 UAV images as bridges to successfully obtain AGB values matching MODIS pixels. The new AGB estimation model had good robustness, with an average R2 of 0.83 and RMSE of 34.13 g m2. Our new dataset provides important input parameters for understanding the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau during global climate change.

Short summary
High-spatiotemporal-resolution rice yield datasets are limited over a large region. We proposed an explicit method to predict rice yield based on machine learning methods and generated a seasonal 4 km resolution rice yield dataset across Asia (AsiaRiceYield4km) for 1995–2015. The seasonal rice yield accuracy of AsiaRiceYield4km is high and much improved compared with previous datasets. AsiaRiceYield4km will fill the current data gap and better support agricultural monitoring systems.

Short summary
Existing satellite-based forest maps remain large uncertainties, due to different forest definitions and mapping algorithms. To effectively manage the forest resources, timely and accurate annual forest maps at a high spatial resolution are demanded. This study improved the forest maps by integrating the PALSAR-2 and Landsat images. The annual evergreen and non-evergreen forest type maps were also generated. This critical information supports the Global Forest Resources Assessment.

Short summary
Large-scale and high-resolution maps of rapeseed are important for ensuring global energy security. We generated a new database for the rapeseed planting area (2017–2019) at 10 m spatial resolution based on multiple data. Also, we analyzed the rapeseed rotation patterns in 25 representative areas from different countries. The derived rapeseed maps are useful for many purposes including crop growth monitoring and production and optimizing planting structure.
