Land use and land cover map of Amu river Basin includes four periods: 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2015. The data produced by the key laboratory of remote sensing and GIS, Xinjiang institute of ecology and geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the spatial resolution of data is 30 m. Data production Supported by the Strategic Priority Research Program of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Grant No. XDA20030101. The land use map of Amu river basin is based on Landsat TM and ETM image data in 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2015. Firstly, with the help of eCognition software, the object-oriented classification is carried out. Secondly, the classification results are checked and corrected manually. Finally, the data validation methods are field validation and high-precision image validation.
