[Objective]Exploring the characteristics of drought events and their impacts on vegetation in northern china is of great significance for drought risk assessment and reducing the impact of drought on ecosystems. [Methods] Based on the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index(SPEI), the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of drought in northern China from 1982 to 2019 were analyzed, the typical drought events in drought response sensitive areas in northern China were identified and characterized by using the run theory, and the impacts of different drought events on the normalized vegetation index(NDVI)standardized anomaly(SANDVI)on the temporal and spatial scale were further discussed. [Results] Over the past38 years, the climate drought in northern China had continued to worsen(slopeSPEI=-0.001 2/month, p<0.01), and mainly concentrated in the middle east of Xinjiang, the north of Qinghai and the east of Inner Mongolia. Drought events with high frequency, short duration and medium and low intensity mainly occurred in the south of northern China, while drought events with low frequency, long duration and high intensity mainly occurred in the north. During the study period, 10 typical drought events occurred in the drought response sensitive area of northern China, and there were great differences in the drought characteristics of different drought events. In terms of the impact of drought events on vegetation growth, it could be preliminarily determined that for a drought event, when the drought duration was no more than 3 months, the drought intensity played the major role in the vegetation growth process; when the drought lasted more than 3 months, the drought severity began to play a major role. [Conclusion] Only when the drought duration exceeds a certain range, the accumulation and lag effect of early drought will be gradually reflected, and the subsequent drought will lead to a significant decline in vegetation productivity. This conclusion can provide theoretical support for ecological protection in northern China.
