Correlation Between NDVI and Different Climate Indices in North China
This paper analyzed the correlations between normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) and different climate indices (annual mean temperature
annual precipitation
aridity index
biological heat index and biological humidity index) in North China from 1982 to 2006. Results showed that temporal change of NDVI presented an overall upward trend
especially in farmland and bush land. Mean annual temperature and biological heat index increased significantly
while annual precipitation
aridity index and biological humidity index decreased. Overall
the NDVI was significantly negatively correlated with aridity index in corresponding period and positively correlated with temperature in previous period. The NDVI for grassland had a significantly positive correlation with mean annual temperature and precipitation and a most significantly negative correlation with aridity index. The NDVI for farmland and bush land was significantly positively correlated with mean annual temperature. In addition
there were significant spatial differences in the correlation between NDVI and climatic indices in North China.
