In 1990, the State Key Laboratory of resources and environmental information system, Institute of geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences completed the digitization of the map, and wrote relevant data description documents. After digitization, the data can also be transformed into other projections by using GIS softwareThis data includes a vector file in E00 format, design description of Chinese vegetation code, data set description, attribute data table of vegetation data layer and scanned vegetation map of the people's Republic of China brief description.
