Title: Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in China Based on Remote Sensing Images
Abstract: Based on 17 phases of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and climate images obtained from 1982 to 1998, the paper analyzed normalized difference vegetation index trends, spatial distribution and their relationships with climate and human activity. The results indicate that at the national scale, the increases of monthly and seasonal NDVI correspond mainly to climate changes. However, corresponding mainly to human activities, the significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity of NDVI trends is found at the regional scale. Therefore, a set of policies must be established to ensure the ecological conservation and restoration, especially in ecological sensitivity areas.
