The results show that the relationships between NDVI and environmental factors change as scale changes. At medium and large scale,NDVI is significantly correlated with elevation,aspect,slope. Thus elevation is the dominant controlling factors on the vegetation cover. There is positive correlation between NDVI and elevation below the altitude of 600 m,and above 600 m,the relationships between NDVI and elevation are positive in the windward side of the southeast monsoon and negative in the leeward side,but inversely above 1 200 m.Read More
