A 1 km datasets for urban-suburban-rural-natural continuous gradient landscapes in Southwest China.

ABSTRACT: Accurate mapping of complete landscape gradients is critical to understanding the evolution patterns and landscape structure of socio-natural ecosystems. However, existing datasets focus primarily on the delineation of urban and rural settlements, neglecting the functional attributes of the landscape and neglecting the two gradients of suburban and natural. Therefore, we fused impervious surface and cultivated land data and used morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) to produce a set of year-by-year urban-suburban-rural-natural (USRN) landscape data, and verified the accuracy with the published data. The spatiotemporal accuracy assessment showed that the USRN data had an average R² higher than 0.8 with other city-wide products and was superior in spatial integrity to a re
