The Sanjiangyuan National Park

Brief Introduction:Located in the hinterland of the Tibetan Plateau, Sanjiangyuan region has an important strategic position in the national ecological civilization construction. To effectively promote the construction of a national park system, the National Development and Reform Commission and 13 other ministries and commissions jointly issued the Pilot plan for establishing national park system, and chose Qinghai Province to carry out the pilot program. On December 9, 2015, the General Secretary presided over the 19th meeting of the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, at which “The General Plan for Piloting China's Sanjiangyuan National Park System” was reviewed and approved. In March 2016, the State Office of the Office of the People's Republic of China issued a pilot plan, clarifying that Sanjiangyuan National Park consists of the Yellow River Source Park, the Yangtze River Source Park and the Lancang River Source Park, thus establishing the real beginning of the exploration of the national park system in China. In order to better support the construction of Sanjiangyuan National Park, with the support of the major science and technology project " Sanjiangyuan National Park Star-Space-Ground Integrated Ecological Monitoring and Data Platform Construction and Development and Application " in Qinghai Province, the Sanjiangyuan Star-Space-Ground Integrated Ecological Monitoring Data Platform was constructed to significantly improve the ecological monitoring coverage and multi-source heterogeneous data fusion capabilities of Sanjiangyuan National Park.

  • GIMMS NDVI3g dataset for Sanjiangyuan (1982-2015)

    The data set is NDVI data of long time series acquired by NOAA's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor. The time range of the data set is from 1982 to 2015. In order to remove the noise in NDVI data, maximum synthesis and multi-sensor contrast correction are carried out. A NDVI image is synthesized every half month. The data set is widely used in the analysis of long-term vegetation change trend. The data set is cut out from the global data set, so as to carry out the research and analysis of the source areas of the three rivers separately. The data format of this data set is GeoTIFF with spatial resolution of 8 km and temporal resolution of 2 weeks, ranging from 1982 to 2015. Data transfer coefficient is 10000, NDVI = ND/10000.
