Description	Spatial distribution of grassland and sparsely vegetated land in Central Asia from 2000 to 2014. Raster data was done for Exacerbated grassland degradation and desertification in Central Asia during 2000–2014 study. The data was generated by using standard deviation of Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) during thermal growing season (EVITGS). The resolution is 463 m, and the coordinate system is Sinusoidal, projected to WGS84. 0 and 1 mean grassland and sparsely vegetated land, respectively.
