The feedback of the biosphere to the atmosphere is one of the core contents of global change research. When the atmospheric CO2 concentration rises, the behavior of the terrestrial ecosystem is the main uncertainty factor to predict this feedback effect. Elevated CO2 concentration (eCO2) can directly stimulate plant growth and ecosystem C absorption by increasing carboxylation and inhibiting photorespiration rate. Through the impact of CO2 fertilization effect (CFE) on photosynthesis and carbon sequestration, the terrestrial ecosystem can buffer the surge of atmospheric CO2 concentration, thereby slowing down climate change. In order to study the impact of CO2 enrichment on vegetation productivity, CO2 enrichment experiments were conducted at Naqu Grassland Station (31 ° 38 ′ 31 ″ N, 92 ° 00 ′ 54 ″ E, 4600m above sea level) in the north of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. The test is designed in zones, with CO2 as the main treatment factor and N as the secondary treatment factor; A total of four experimental treatments span two CO2 concentration levels [ambient CO2 (aCO2), increased CO2 (eCO2):+100ppm]. Considering the low vegetation height and windy weather in the study area, octagonal open top chambers (OTCs) are used to control the carbon dioxide concentration, rather than the free FACE system. The design height of OTC is 2.5 meters, the length of each side is 1.5 meters, and each OTC occupies 7.7 square meters.

According to the data of three future scenarios of CMIP5 (RCP2.6、RCP4.5、RCP8.5), the spatial variation characteristics and temporal variation trend of the global mean annual air temperature from 2006 to 2100 are analyzed. Under rcp2.6 scenario, the mean annual air temperature shows an increasing trend, with the growth rate ranging from 0.0 ° c/decade to 0.2 ° c/decade (P<0.05), the growth in high latitude regions is faster, ranging from 0.1 ° c/decade to 0.2 ° C / decade. Based on the spatial and temporal characteristics of the mean annual air temperature in the northern hemisphere in the 21st century, under different scenarios, the mean annual air temperature shows a warming trend, and the high latitudes show a more sensitive and rapid growth.

This dataset is the daily vorticity related flux observation data of Naqu flux station (31.64 ° N 92.01 ° E, 4598 m a.s.l.), including net ecosystem productivity (NEP), total primary productivity (GPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), evapotranspiration, latent heat, sensible heat, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, soil temperature, soil moisture and other data. The main steps of data pre-processing include wild point removal (± 3 σ）、 Coordinate axis rotation (3D wind rotation), Webb Pearman Leuning correction, outlier elimination, carbon flux interpolation and decomposition, etc. Missing data are interpolated through the nonlinear empirical formula between CO2 flux value (Fc) and environmental factors.

Vegetation survey data is essential for the study of ecosystem structure and function. The Qinghai Tibet Plateau contains a vast grassland ecosystem, mainly including alpine meadow, alpine grassland, and alpine desertification grassland. Due to the unique geographical location and high altitude anoxic environmental conditions, the community survey data in the northern Tibetan Plateau is relatively scarce. This data set includes the aboveground biomass and coverage data of 47 sampling points on the northern Tibet transect in 2019, and the sampling time is from July to August. The sample size is 50cm × 50cm, dry weight of the plant is weighed after drying. This data set can be used for spatial analysis of productivity and calibration of models.

The data set of ecological adjustment value of Arctic permafrost change from 1982 to 2015, with the time resolution of 1982, 2015 and the change rate of two phases, covers the entire Arctic tundra area, with the spatial resolution of 8km. Based on multi-source remote sensing, simulation, statistics and measured data, and combined with GIS and ecological methods, it quantifies the adjustment service value of Arctic permafrost to the ecosystem, The unit price refers to the correlation (0.35) between the active layer thickness and NDVI changes after excluding precipitation and snow water equivalent, and the grassland ecosystem service value (the unit price of tundra ecosystem service is based on 1/3 of the grassland ecosystem service value).

The radiogenic isotope composition of strontium (Sr) and neodymium (Nd) on surface of the Earth are a powerful tool for tracing dust sources and sinks on surface of the Earth. To differentiate the spatial variability of aeolian dust sources in key cryospheric regions at the three poles (including the ‘Third Pole’ covering the high mountain area in Asia, the Arctic and Antarctica). A dataset of the Sr-Nd isotopic compositions from the terrestrial extremely cold or arid environments in this study was compiled as the similar method by Blanchet (2019). The database identified on snow, ice, sand, soil (loess) and sediment from the modern dust samples and paleoclimatic records of the three poles based on 43 different references with 967 data points in total. There are 274 data points from the third pole, 302 data points from the Arctic, and 391 data points from Antarctica. The sampling and measurement methods, and quality of these data are recognized and introduced. In each pole, geographical coordinates and other information are provided. The main scientific purpose of this dataset is to provide our own measurement and collect documentation of the Sr-Nd dataset, which will be useful for determining the sources and transport pathways of dust at the three poles and to investigate whether there are multiple dust sources for each of the poles. These datasets provide detail exhaustive documentation of the isotopic signature from the three poles at specific time intervals, which would be useful for understanding the dust source or sink of the three poles.

The triple pole aerosol type data product is an aerosol type result obtained through a series of data pre-processing, quality control, statistical analysis and comparative analysis processes by comprehensively using MEERA 2 assimilation data and active satellite CALIPSO products. The key of the aerosol type fusion algorithm is to judge the aerosol type of CALIPSO. During the data fusion of aerosol type, the final aerosol type data (12 types in total) and quality control results in the three polar regions are obtained according to the types and quality control of CALIPSO aerosol types and referring to MERRA 2 aerosol types. The data product fully considers the vertical and spatial distribution of aerosols, and has a high spatial resolution (0.625 ° × 0.5 °) and time resolution (month).
