Topographic Differentiation Effect on Vegetation Cover Change in Urban Districts of Taiyuan City
[Objective] The differentiation effects of vegetation cover change based on elevation
aspect
slope
slope change rate
terrain niche
and relief amplitude were analyzed to provide basic information for ecological environment protection in Taiyuan City
Shanxi Province.[Methods] Based on advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) global digital elevation model (GDEM) data and remote sensing data in August 2004
August 2007
August 2011
September 2014
and September 2016
the dimidiate pixel mode was used to estimate the vegetation cover in urban districts of Taiyuan City in different periods. The differentiation and changing trend of vegetation cover in terms of elevation
aspect
slope
slope change rate
terrain niche
and relief amplitude were analyzed using the correction coefficient for topographic areas.[Results] ① The vegetation coverage was mainly medium height coverage and high coverage
which accounted for more than 65% of the total area. The overall vegetation cover increased significantly from 2004 to 2016. The areas with a significant decrease in vegetation cover were mainly distributed in Xiaodian and Jiancaoping Districts
while the vegetation cover in the west and middle east areas increased rapidly. The area of vegetation coverage decreased by 852.70 km2. However
it increased by 601.62 km2 during 2007—2011
showing a general trend of degradation
while the area of vegetation coverage increased by more than one half of the study area in 2004—2007
2011—2014
and 2014—2016
and the vegetation restoration effect was better. ② In the different aspects of the slopes
there were no obvious distribution differences in the different vegetation cover change types except in the flat land area. The spatial distribution of various vegetation cover change types for different elevations
slopes
slope change rates
terrain niches
and relief amplitudes differed obviously.[Conclusion] The effect of aspect on vegetation growth change is not obvious. However
the effects of the other topographic factors (elevation
slope
slope change rate
terrain niche
and relief amplitude) on vegetation cover change are obvious.
