To investigate the characteristics of grassland degradation on a regional scale in Xizang, data on grassland degradation from the second grassland survey of Xizang and 12 vegetation and soil indicators from the National Tibetan Plateau Data Center were collected. Using ArcMap, 10 000 random sample points were selected on raster data (excluding non-grassland, desertification, and salinization data, leaving 7 949 valid sample points). The multi-value extraction to-point method was applied to extract degradation and indicator data for each sample point.
