- Abstract:
-
Study of the dynamic changes of vegetation cover in the Loess Plateau and its relationship with human activities and meteorological factors is of great significance for evaluating regional ecological environment quality and ecological processes. Based on the data of the Loess Plateau NDVI from 1982 to 2018(GIMMS NDVI from 1982 to 2011 and MODIS NDVI from 2000 to 2018), we used the dimidiate pixel model to estimate the vegetation coverage, and the temporal and spatial variation of vegetation coverage in the Loess Plateau and its response characteristics to human activities and meteorological factors were analyzed with the help of vegetation greenness, correlation analysis, multiple regression and residual method. The results show that:(1)in the past 37 years, the vegetation coverage in the spring, summer, autumn and growing seasons of the Loess Plateau had shown an increasing trend, and the increase rate of FVC in each season had increased year by year, especially in the summer and the growing season;(2)spatially, the FVC in spring, summer, autumn and growing seasons showed an increasing trend from northwest to southeast, and most of the areas have a significant increasing trend, and the area with improved vegetation cover is larger than that with degraded vegetation cover;(3)human activities in spring, summer, autumn and growing seasons mainly had positive effects on FVC, and human activities in summer had more significant impact on FVC. In terms of meteorological factors, the area where FVC and average temperature showed a significant positive correlation in summer and growing season accounted for a relatively large area, and the area where FVC and total precipitation showed a significant positive correlation in spring and autumn accounted for a relatively large area. The implementation of ecological projects such as returning farmland to forest(grass)had significantly improved the vegetation status of the Loess Plateau, but urban expansion had caused the degradation of vegetation cover in some areas.
