This study created a Reference sample dataset of Stable, Disturbed and Forestated forests (RSDF) in China from1986 to 2025 with 12,991 samples. All samples were visually annotated using satellite imagery and forest records with strict quality checks. Nearly 80 % remained stable, and forest disturbance was most frequent in eastern and southern China. Over 95 % of samples received high confidence. This public dataset supports tracking forest change and assessing its effects on carbon storage.

The Global Lakes and Wetlands Database (GLWD) version 2 distinguishes a total of 33 non-overlapping wetland classes, providing a static map of the world’s inland surface waters. It contains cell fractions of wetland extents per class at a grid cell resolution of ~500 m. The total combined extent of all classes including all inland and coastal waterbodies and wetlands of all inundation frequencies – that is, the maximum extent – covers 18.2 × 106 km2, equivalent to 13.4 % of total global land area.

An accurate global 30 m wetland dataset that can simultaneously cover inland and coastal zones is lacking. This study proposes a novel method for wetland mapping and generates the first global 30 m wetland map with a fine classification system (GWL_FCS30), including five inland wetland sub-categories (permanent water, swamp, marsh, flooded flat and saline) and three coastal wetland sub-categories (mangrove, salt marsh and tidal flats).

Leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) is an important plant physiological trait and a proxy for leaf photosynthetic capacity. We generated a global LCC dataset from ENVISAT MERIS and Sentinel-3 OLCI satellite data for the period 2003–2012 to 2018–2020 using a physically-based radiative transfer modeling approach. This new LCC dataset spanning nearly 20 years will provide a valuable opportunity for the monitoring of vegetation growth and terrestrial carbon cycle modeling on a global scale.

A 30 m LAke Water Secchi Depth (LAWSD30) dataset of China was first developed for 1985–2020, and national-scale water clarity estimations of lakes in China over the past 35 years were analyzed. Lake clarity in China exhibited a significant downward trend before the 21st century, but improved after 2000. The developed LAWSD30 dataset and the evaluation results can provide effective guidance for water preservation and restoration.

Accurately mapping impervious-surface dynamics has great scientific significance and application value for research on urban sustainable development, the assessment of anthropogenic carbon emissions and global ecological-environment modeling. In this study, a novel and accurate global 30 m impervious surface dynamic dataset (GISD30) for 1985 to 2020 was produced using the spectral-generalization method and time-series Landsat imagery on the Google Earth Engine cloud computing platform.

Understanding plant sunlight absorption is crucial for tracking global ecosystem health. We developed a 1995–2024 dataset that enhances satellite-based plant activity measurements by resolving data inconsistencies and improving resolution. Using advanced modeling, we harmonized signals from multiple satellites, cutting errors by 49 %. This offers clearer global photosynthesis trends, aiding climate research and vegetation monitoring.

The Russia-Ukraine war caused significant NOx emission reductions in Ukraine, exceeding COVID-19 impacts. Using TROPOMI data, we found a 15% drop in 2022 and 8% in 2023, with Eastern Ukraine (frontline) seeing declines of 29% and 17%. Industry emissions fell most (34% in 2022), while war-related NOx partially offset reductions (8-10%). Emissions closely tracked military actions, revealing conflict’s disruptive effects on socio-economic activity and air pollution.

TanSat-2 is designed for global carbon monitoring, offering high-resolution dual-band observations of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence – a key indicator of photosynthesis. Simulations show its data processing can retrieve fluorescence with high accuracy. These results suggest TanSat-2 will enhance global tracking of the carbon cycle and vegetation health, providing valuable insights for climate change research.

Forest age is critical for carbon cycle modeling and effective forest management. Existing datasets, however, have low spatial resolutions or limited temporal coverage. This study introduces China's annual forest age dataset (CAFA), spanning 1986–2022 at a 30 m resolution. By tracking forest disturbances, we annually update ages. Validation shows small errors for disturbed forests and larger errors for undisturbed forests. CAFA can enhance carbon cycle modeling and forest management in China.

To obtain a temporally consistent satellite solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence
(SIF) product (TCSIF), we corrected for time degradation of GOME-2A using a pseudo-invariant method. After the correction, the global SIF grew by 0.70 % per year from 2007 to 2021, and 62.91 % of vegetated regions underwent an increase in SIF. The dataset is a promising tool for monitoring global vegetation variation and will advance our understanding of vegetation's photosynthetic activities at a global scale.

Short summary
This work describes GLC_FCS30D, the first global 30 m land-cover dynamics monitoring dataset, which contains 35 land-cover subcategories and covers the period of 1985–2022 in 26 time steps (its maps are updated every 5 years before 2000 and annually after 2000).
