Change of Vegetation NDVI with Altitude and Its Climatic Response in Taiwan Province
[Objective] To provide a theoretical basis for regional sustainable development and ecological environmental protection
the changing trend with altitude of Taiwan's terrestrial vegetation ecosystem and its response to climatic were investigated.[Methods] Based on SPOT/VEGETATION NDVI satellite remote sensing data
meteorological
and digital elevation model (DEM) data from 1998-2018
we combined a regression analysis and correlation analysis to assess the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) trend and regional response of vegetation in Taiwan Province under climate change.[Results] The average growth rate of NDVI of vegetation in Taiwan Province from 1998 to 2018 was 5.09%; The proportion of area occupied by different elevation ranges in Taiwan Province was quite different
the area proportion <500 m area was as high as 52.49%
the area proportion >3 600 m area was only 0.01%
and NDVI in the two altitude ranges showed lower values
0.72 and 0.73; From 1998 to 2018
except for the altitude of >3 600 m
the mean value of NDVI in other altitude ranges increased significantly (p<0.001). In the elevation range of 500-3 600 m
the annual mean of NDVI was significantly correlated with temperature and rainfall (p<0.05).[Conclusion] The higher the altitude
the more sensitive is the growth of vegetation to the change of rainfall as compared to the change of temperature.
