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.

This study presents a 30 m global product individual forest fires from 1984–2022, derived from the full Landsat archive on Google Earth Engine. This product maps a total of 11.97 million fire patches burning 7.3 Mha yr−1 on average. This dataset provides a valuable resource for characterizing the long-term impacts and evolving regimes of global forest fires, which is essential for effective forest management and climate policy.

Short summary
The Tibetan Plateau is an important pastoral area where cultivated pastures play an increasingly important role. However, little is known about the spatial distribution of the cultivated pastures due to the difficulty in distinguishing them from natural grasslands with remote sensing. For the first time, we have mapped the cultivated pastures on the plateau at a resolution of 30 m with decent accuracy. This dataset is valuable to scientists, policymakers, conservationists, and pastoralists.

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

Variations in observational conditions have led to poor spatiotemporal consistency in leaf area index (LAI) time series. Using prior knowledge, we leveraged high-quality observations and spatiotemporal correlation to reprocess MODIS LAI, thereby generating HiQ-LAI, a product that exhibits fewer abnormal fluctuations in time series. Reprocessing was done on Google Earth Engine, providing users with convenient access to this value-added data and facilitating large-scale research and applications.

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.

We generated a 4-km dataset of global wheat yield (GlobalWheatYield4km) from 1982 to 2020 using data-driven models. Compared with subnational statistics covering ~11000 political units, GlobalWheatYield4km captured 82 % of yield variations with RMSE of 619.8 kg/ha. The dataset will play important roles in modelling crop system and assessing climate impact over larger areas

We generated China’s surface water bodies, Large Dams, Reservoirs, and Lakes (China-LDRL) dataset by analyzing all available Landsat imagery in 2019 (19\,338 images) in Google Earth Engine. The dataset provides accurate information on the geographical locations and sizes of surface water bodies, large dams, reservoirs, and lakes in China. The China-LDRL dataset will contribute to the understanding of water security and water resources management in China.

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.

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.

Short summary
The sowing date is key to the surface biophysical processes in the winter dormancy period. The climate effect of the sowing date shift is therefore very interesting and may contribute to the mitigation of climate change. An earlier sowing date always had a higher LAI but a higher temperature in the dormancy period and a lower temperature in the growth period. The main reason was the relative contributions of the surface albedo and energy partitioning processes.

Short summary
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.
