Based on the MODIS NDVI(Normal Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI) data sets, climate data from standard meteorological stations and socio-economic statistical data, overlay analysis, spatial statistical analysis methods and correlation analysis were employed to study the characteristics of temporal and spatial variation of vegetation NDVI, and the relationship between NDVI, climatic factors and human activity in Karst area of southeast Yunnan. The results show that growing season in Karst area of southeast Yunnan starts from early May and ends around mid-term September, vegetation NDVI presented a rising trend from 2001 to 2010, the rate was 0.03/10 a, the vegetation coverage area demonstrated an increasing trend. With respect to the change in vegetation coverage in Karst area of southeast Yunnan, the areas of increase and decrease of vegetation coverage were 70.03%, 29.97% of the total area of Karst area of southeast Yunnan, respectively. The most prominent areas of vegetation NDVI decrease are mainly around the cities and towns which have a large population, and the increased areas mainly concentrated in the high-altitude areas. The average relative humidity, minimum relative humidity and precipitation are the main factors affecting annual change of the vegetation NDVI, their impaction has about two months lag phase, the temperature factor has about for three months lag phase, and the other types of climatic factors have about two months period of lag phase. The implementation of returning land for farming to forestry plays a key role in the enhancement of the vegetation coverage in Karst area of southeast Yunnan, while the process of urbanization leads to vegetation degradation.
