This dataset is the population index, which includes the dataset of Qinghai Province and Tibet Autonomous Region. It can be used for the coupling coordination relationship between urbanization and eco-environment in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The time span in Tibet Autonomous Region is 1995-2016. Permanent residents is based on the population census and the annual population change sampling survey. In addition to the total permanent population, the data were also calculated by gender and urban and rural areas. The time span is from 1952 to 2015 in Qinghai Province, and the indices are resident population, birth, death and natural increase. All data is from the statistical yearbook.

The data set contains three tables: demographic data for Tibet, demographic data for each county in Tibet, and data on rural workers. These time series data include the year-end total population, the number of men, the number of women, urban population, rural population, and statistics on workers in various rural industries in Tibet from 1967 to 2016. The data were derived from the Tibet Society and Economics Statistical Yearbook and Tibet Statistical Yearbook. The accuracy of the data is consistent with that of the statistical yearbooks.

This point shapefile represents the district locations, with 2000 population census data, in the Autonomous region of Tibet (Xizang) for 2000. These data are represented at 1:1,000,000 scale. This layer is part of the China 2000 township population census dataset.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has a fragile ecological environment, spanning a geographical range of 25°59′43.74″N–39°59′20.01″N and 73°29′56.26″E–104°25′20.95″E, with significant internal population regional differentiation. This study constructs a spatialized population dataset based on the Tibetan Empire period, the first era of unified governance on the plateau. First, population quantity data were obtained from historical literature and records. Second, using land use as a restrictive factor, the weights of elevation, slope, rivers, ancient settlements, post stations, and other factors were determined through the expert scoring method and Analytic Hierarchy Process to construct impact coefficients. Finally, a 1km×1km gridded population distribution model was developed using ArcGIS software to calculate population density. After verification, the error in population distribution for the Tuyuhun and Bailan regions is around 20%. There are two main reasons for the error: records of population during the Tibetan Empire period are characterized by uncertainties, with possible practices such as underreporting, undercounting, and overreporting; the number of documented ancient settlements remains incomplete, as only those ancient sites with explicit historical records have been spatially represented, thereby affecting the accuracy of population distribution. The spatialized population dataset of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during the Tibetan Empire period contains population density data (234 MB) and a population density distribution map (6.90 MB).

The data set contains data on the birth rate, mortality rate and natural growth rate in Tibet. The data were derived from the Tibet Society and Economics Statistical Yearbook and Tibet Statistical Yearbook. The accuracy of the data is consistent with that of the statistical yearbooks.

The table contains 4 fields. Field 1: Year of the data Field 2: Birth rate, unit: ‰ Field 3: Mortality rate, unit:‰ Field 4: Natural growth rate, unit: ‰

Tibetan, one of the largest indigenous populations living in the high-altitude region of the Tibetan Plateau (TP), has developed a suite of physiological adaptation strategies to cope with the extreme highland environment in TP. Here, we reported genome-wide SNP data from 48 Kham-speaking Nagqu Tibetans and analyzed it with published data from 1,067 individuals in 167 modern and ancient populations to characterize the detailed Tibetan subgroup history and population substructure. Overall, the patterns of allele sharing and haplotype sharing suggested (1) the relatively genetic homogeny between the studied Nagqu Tibetans and ancient Nepalese as well as present-day core Tibetans from Lhasa, Nagqu, and Shigatse; and (2) the close relationship between our studied Kham-speaking Nagqu Tibetans and Kham-speaking Chamdo Tibetans. The fitted qpAdm models showed that the studied Nagqu Tibetans could be fitted as having the main ancestry from late Neolithic upper Yellow River millet farmers and deeply diverged lineages from Southern East Asians (represented by Upper Paleolithic Guangxi_Longlin and Laos_Hoabinhian), and a non-neglectable western Steppe herder-related ancestry (∼3%). We further scanned the candidate genomic regions of natural selection for our newly generated Nagqu Tibetans and the published core Tibetans via FST, iHS, and XP-EHH tests. The genes overlapping with these regions were associated with essential human biological functions such as immune response, enzyme activity, signal transduction, skin development, and energy metabolism. Together, our results shed light on the admixture and evolutionary history of Nagqu Tibetan populations.

To investigate the paternal genetic structure of Tibetans, 447 male samples were collected from Ngari (n=211), Chamdo (n=119), and Nyingchi (n=117). Firstly, SNP genotyping was performed to allocate samples into haplogroups. To further evaluate the genetic diversity of the major Y-chromosomal haplogroup in Tibetan populations from Lhasa, eight commonly used Y-chromosomal STR (short tandem repeat) loci (DYS19, DYS388, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, and DYS393) were genotyped using fluorescence-labeled primers with an ABI 3130XL Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, USA). The results indicated that haplogroup D displayed highest frequency in these three Tibetan populations (Ngari 54.50%, Nyingchi 64.10%, Chamdo 67.23%). Among haplogroup D, D-P47 showed the highest frequency (Ngari 29.39%, Nyingchi 51.28%, Chamdo 55.46%). Differently, D-N1 showed the highest frequency in Ngari (21.33%), followed by Nyingchi (11.97%) and Chamdo (10.92%). Haplogroup O-M117 is the second frequent haplogroup in these three populations, with the highest frequency in Ngari (29.86%), followed by Nyingchi (26.50%) and Chamdo (15.97%). Compared with the other two populations, Ngari Tibetans have higher frequencies of western Eurasian haplogroups, including R-M17 (1.42%), R-M343 (1.42%), and J, probably reflecting more genetic contribution from the west into Ngari. In combination with the data from Lhasa that deposited in 2019 and 2020, our Y chromosome data of Tibetans from different locations on the Tibetan Plateau will be very helpful to understanding the paternal genetic structure of Tibetans. Moreover, the genetic history of Tibetans can also be dissected by phylogeographic and coalescent analyses.

The main body of the Tibetan Plateau is Qinghai Province and the Tibetan Autonomous Region. The economic and social data of Qinghai Province and the Tibetan Autonomous Region are the basis for the analysis and assessment of the basic data of sustainable development of populations, resources, environment and economic society on the Tibetan Plateau by integrating the basic data of natural sciences. Under normal circumstances, the statistical yearbooks of all provinces and regions are all in paper and CD-ROM versions, and users need to perform secondary editing before they can use them. This data set mainly relies on the raw data of the Statistical Yearbook of Qinghai Province and the Tibetan Autonomous Region to carry out data conversion and integrate the current economic and social data sets. The temporal coverage of the data is from 2007 to 2016, and the temporal resolution is one year. The spatial coverage is Qinghai Province and the Tibetan Autonomous Region of the Tibetan Plateau. The spatial resolution is the administrative unit of the prefecture or city. The data include information on population, economy, finance, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, investment in fixed assets, education and health.
