Temporal and Spatial Dynamic of Grassland Based on MODIS NDVI during 2001-2015 in Gansu Province
Using MODIS NDVI data,through the analysis of grassland vegetation index and coefficient of variation,the space-time change rule of vegetation and the ecosystem vulnerability in the last 15 years(2001—2015)on all kinds of natural grassland located in Gansu province were studied. The results showed that the trend of NDVI average on grassland in Gansu province overall was rising for the past 15 years,that of Gannan was falling in overall slightly;the ratioes of very stable,stable,vulnerable and very vulnerable area were 26.8%,44.9%,23.5% and 4.8% respectively;the Southern Gansu and the area along the Qilian Mountains were the stable region;the grasslands in Lanzhou and Baiyin,Shandan,northwest Sunan County were vulnerable;the ecosystem vulnerable region was in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu with a banding distribution,and a block distribution was in the Hedong region of Gansu.
