Land use and cover change (LUCC) is one of the main factors that affect material circulations and energy flows in ecosystems. The change of vegetation coverage can reflect the LUCC, studies on how vegetation coverage change influences net primary productivity (NPP) are necessary for science-based planning of regional land use. Based on data of MODIS-Reflectance and MODIS-NPP from 2008 to 2014, the impacts of vegetation coverage change on NPP in Heihe River Basin were assessed. The main findings are: (1) the vegetation coverage in Heihe River Basin got the rise trend in 2008—2014; spatially, NPP on the south side of the river was more than that on the north side, and the NPP on Qilian Mountains and Zhangye City, Jiuquan City, Linze City were higher as compared to downstream area, and the NPP value reached the lowest in the northern downstream area; (2) compared to 2008, vegetation coverage of grade 1(coverage below 20%), grade 4(coverage between 40% and 60%), and grade 5(coverage above 60%) got the rise, while grade 2(coverage between 20% and 30%) and grade 3(coverage between 30% and 40%) got the reduction in 2014; (3) correlation-analysis showed that the vegetation coverage had the good indication of NPP, i. e., the correlation coefficient is more than 0.90; (4) during the period from 2008 to 2014, regional annual primary production increased from 6 052.82 GgC/a to 6 624.54 GgC/a, with the increase of 9.45%; the area of vegetation coverage of grade 1 decreased by 17 086 km2, but the total NPP only decreased 25.65 GgC/a; vegetation coverage of grade 5 increased most, and total NPP increased from 2861.96 GgC/a to 3 206.86 GgC/a, with a increase of 344.90 GgC/a(i. e. 12.05%), while Vegetation coverage of grade 4 increased 251.84 GgC/a.
