Abstract Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a critical parameter in terrestrial ecosystems, with high spatial resolution data being extensively utilized in various research studies. However, LAI data under future scenarios are typically only available at 1° or coarser spatial resolutions. In this study, we generated a dataset of 0.05° LAI (F0.05D-LAI) from 1983–2100 in a high spatial resolution using the LAI Downscaling Network (LAIDN) model driven by inputs including air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, and topography data. The dataset spans the historical period (1983–2014) and future scenarios (2015–2100, including SSP-126, SSP-245, SSP-370, and SSP-585) with a monthly interval. It achieves high accuracy (R² = 0.887, RMSE = 0.340) and captures fine spatial details across various climate zones and terrain types, indicating a slightly greening trend under future scenarios. F0.05D-LAI is the first high-resolution LAI dataset and reveals the potential vegetation variation under future scenarios in China, which benefits vegetation studies and model development in earth and environmental sciences across present and future periods. |
