Influence of Hydrothermal Condition and Human Activities on Dynamics of Vegetation Coverage in Shanxi Province
Base on the SPOT Vegetation and meteorological data from 1999 to 2010
the spatial and temporal variations of vegetation cover in Shanxi Province were analyzed by the methods of Sen+Mann-Kendall
residual analysis and correlation analysis to discuss the effects of hydrothermal condition and human activities on dynamics of vegetation coverage. The results showed that
from the perspective of the interannual variation
the vegetation coverage in Shanxi Province presented a significant increasing trend and the growth rate reached 0.199 4/a during 1999-2010. From the perspective of the spatial pattern
the NDVI had an increasing trend in most of the study area. The significant increasing areas located mainly in the loess hilly-gully region and mountains in Shanxi Province
which accounted for 72.94%; the areas where the NDVI reduces ws distributed sporadically
which only accounts for 0.21%. The change of vegetation coverage had great correlation with precipitation
and on the whole
it showed an obvious feature that gradually reducing from north to south
among them
the areas where the correlation coefficient was positive accounts for 98.54%; besides
the change of vegetation coverage had little correlation with temperature
and the average correlation coefficient was only -0.415. In addition
the impact of human activities on the vegetation cover change in Shanxi Province was double-edged sword
but positive influence was far greater than negative effect
which indicates that returning the grain plots to forestry and soil erosion controlling brought an important ecological benefit role in recent years.
