This dataset is associated with Bare Patches Created by Plateau Pikas Contribute to Warming Permafrost on the Tibet Plateau submitted to GRL (2024), including (i) maps illustrating the difference in soil temperature (ST) between scenarios with and without pika disturbance; (ii) maps illustrating the difference in soil water content (SWC); (iii) a surface entrance density map of plateau pikas and (iv) a map depicting the fraction of bare patches induced by plateau pikas. All data are provided as GeoTIFF (.tif) files in a geographic coordinate system of WGS_1984.1. “ST_difference_soilayer[n]_[2.5cm, 66cm, 184cm, 370cm]_2015_2018_[June, July, August, September].tif” is the difference in soil temperature (°C) of the n-th layer at a certain depth with and without pika disturbance averaged from 2015-2018 in June, July, August and September, respectively. These values are derived from simulations by implementing scenarios with and without pika disturbance using the Noah-MP model.2. ...
