- Abstract:
-
Based on the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford approach (CASA) model, the temporal and spatial variations of vegetation NPP in northwest China during the period 2000—2013 were analyzed by combining with geo-statistics theory and using trend and correlation analysis. Meanwhile, the relationships between vegetation NPP and climate change were also examined by using the meteorological data. The results showed that: (1) The vegetation NPP in northwest China presented the fluctuating increase trend which reached an extremely significant level (p < 0.01); (2) The distribution of vegetation NPP had obvious spatial heterogeneity, which generally presented the decreasing trend from east to west; Except for Xinjiang, the other provinces also showed the low state in the north; the area with increasing vegetation NPP accounted for 85.97% of the total area, and mainly distributed in northern Shaanxi, southern Ningxia, eastern Gansu, eastern and southern parts of Qinghai, and parts of western Xinjiang, while the NPP presented the decreasing trend in west of Xinjiang; The average NPP values of different vegetation types showed significant differences, and followed an order of: grassland [262.16 g C/(m2·a)] > shrub [66.51 g C/(m2·a)] > farmland [45.90 g C/(m2·a)] > forest [14.36 g C/(m2·a)]; The NPP of grassland, farmland, and shrub all showed the extremely significant increase(p<0.01), but the increase of forests was not obvious(p>0.05); (3) In general, vegetation NPP was positively correlated with temperature and precipitation, and was more sensitive to precipitation; Therefore, precipitation was the main factor limiting the increase of vegetation NPP in this area.
