The dynamic response of forest vegetation to hydrothermal conditions in the Funiu Mountains of western Henan Province

This paper uses HJ-1 satellite multi-spectral and multi-temporal data to extract forest vegetation information in the Funiu Mountain region. The S-G filtering algorithm was employed to reconstruct the MODIS EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index) time-series data for the period of 2000–2013, and these data were correlated with air temperature and precipitation data to explore the responses of forest vegetation to hydrothermal conditions. The results showed that: (1) the Funiu Mountain region has relatively high and increasing forest coverage with an average EVI of 0.48 over the study period, and the EVI first shows a decreasing trend with increased elevation below 200 m, then an increasing trend from 200–1700 m, and finally a decreasing trend above 1700 m. However, obvious differences could be identified in the responses of different forest vegetation types to climate change. Broad-leaf deciduous forest, being the dominant forest type in the region, had the most significant EVI increase. (2) Temperature in the region showed an increasing trend over the 14 years of the study with an anomaly increasing rate of 0.27°C/10a; a fluctuating yet increasing trend could be identified for the precipitation anomaly percentage. (3) Among all vegetation types, the evergreen broad-leaf forest has the closest EVI-temperature correlation, whereas the mixed evergreen and deciduous forest has the weakest. Almost all forest types showed a weak negative EVI-precipitation correlation, except the mixed evergreen and deciduous forest with a weak positive correlation. (4) There is a slight delay in forest vegetation responses to air temperature and precipitation, with half a month only for limited areas of the mixed evergreen and deciduous forest.     

珠穆朗玛峰国家级自然保护区湿地分布研究

利用2000～2009年覆盖珠穆朗玛峰国家级自然保护区的MOD09A1和MOD13Q1数据集的相关数据,该保护区1：5万DEM,并结合2008年9月采集的野外湿地数据,进行了基于增强型植被指数（EVI）、改进型调整植被指数（MSAVI）、地表水分指数（LSWI）、海拔和坡度5个参数的保护区湿地分布特征研究。结果表明,珠穆朗玛峰国家级自然保护区的湿地类型主要为河流、湖泊、沼泽和沼泽化草甸;湿地主要分布在海拔4100～4700m且坡度≤4°的佩枯错、浪强错、多布扎等湖泊密集的高原湖盆地区、佩枯错与浪强错之间的平原地带和保护区中部及北部坡度较缓的河谷地区,大部分湿地分布在保护区的实验区内;2000～2008年保护区湿地以季相变化为主,6～9月（湿季）湿地面积约占保护区总面积的11．2％;6～9月湿地面积年际变化幅度小于保护区总面积的0．1％;坡度和海拔是影响保护区湿地空间分布的关键因素和提取该地区湿地空间分布范围的有效参数。

A monitoring protocol for vegetation change on Irish peatland and heath

Amendments to Articles 3.3 and 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol have meant that detection of vegetation change may now form an interracial part of national soil carbon stocks. In this study multispectral multi-platform satellite data was processed to detect change to the surface vegetation of four peatland sites and one heath in Ireland. Spectral and spatial thresholds were used on difference images between master and slave data in the extraction of temporally invariant targets for multi-platform cross calibration. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used to evaluate any difference in the cumulative probability distributions of the master, slave and calibrated slave data as expressed by the D statistic, with values reduced by an average of 89.7% due to the cross calibration procedure. A change detection model was created which incorporated a spatial threshold of 9 pixels and a standard deviation (SD) spectral threshold. Kappa accuracy values for the five sites ranged from 80 to 97%, showing that 1.5 SD was the optimum spectral threshold for detecting vegetation change. Change detection results showed mean percentage change ranging from 2.11 to 3.28% of total area and cumulative change over the observed time period of between 15.24 and 49.27% of total area.     

基于遥感数据的内蒙古草原灌丛物候变化研究

植被物候研究是全球气候变化研究的重要内容,但国际上有关干旱半干旱区灌丛物候变化的研究还很缺乏。为了探讨气候变化对内蒙古草原灌丛物候的影响,利用2000~2011年的MODIS EVI时间序列影像,采用动态阈值法得到6种灌丛12 a物候年际变化情况,结合样点附近气象站的气温和降水数据,分析了灌丛物候与气候变化的动态关系。结果表明：（1）内蒙古中西部草原灌丛返青期、枯黄期都呈现提前的趋势,生长季长度缩短;（2）春季均温升高和前一年秋冬降水增加可以提前灌丛返青期,是影响返青期的主要因素;（3）秋季降水减少和夏秋均温上升都利于枯黄期提前,夏季降水的作用则因灌丛种类不同而略有差异;（4）夏秋均温上升缩短了生长季长度,夏秋降水量、春季均温则多与生长季长度呈正相关。     

基于NOAA/AVHRR和Terra/MODIS数据的植被指数季节信息比较

依据云南省中部地区的气候系统和地形地貌的区域差异,选择西南山地和东部高原地区为对比区,应用ArcGIS 9.2点面结合分析了AVHRR-NDVI、MODIS-NDVI及MODIS-EVI 3种植被指数对植被季节性变化的敏感度.结果显示:MODIS-EVI在消除影响因素方面效果最好,其与植被覆盖度的线性关系得到明显改善,尤其是在高植被覆盖区表现良好,既避免了植被指数饱和问题的产生,又削弱了大气云雨、地形地貌及土壤背景的影响程度,为遥感定量研究陆地植被提供了数据保证,尤其是涉及有关植被季节性信息的研究.     

Reconstruction of time series MODIS EVI data using de-noising algorithms

Long-term Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) data have inherent noise due to clouds and poor atmospheric conditions that limit its applicability for environmental applications. This study was carried out with an objective of noise removal and reconstruction of time series MODIS EVI data (16 day) for the period 2010–2014 using de-noising algorithms. Relative evaluation of de-noising algorithms for smoothing temporal data with ideal noise free data is not possible in actual scenario. Hence, synthetic signals were generated and introduced Gaussian noise at different variance levels for evaluation purpose. Spatial analysis was carried out by introducing noise at different variance levels into the noise free EVI images from the raw EVI stacked image. Spatio-temporal analyses of noise signals in the reconstructed EVI images were evaluated in terms of performance indicators, namely Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio and Mean Square Error.     

Inference of herder presence from GPS collar data of semi-free range cattle

Although global positioning system (GPS) location data have been used to derive animal movement parameters including step length, rarely have these parameters been used to predict animal responses to human interventions. In this study, we tested whether GPS-derived step length of semi-free range cattle is a function of herder presence. The derived step-length model was used to predict herder presence on independent cattle GPS collar data. We also tested whether cattle foraging behaviour is explained by herder activity and vegetation greenness. We used logistic regression to model herder presence as a function of step length and relate cattle behaviour with herder activity and vegetation greenness. The field-based step length model successfully predicted herder presence on GPS collar data. The average predicted frequency of herder presence for the GPS-collared herds was 31%, whilst the field-based GPS frequency was 27%. Herding activities and vegetation greenness also explained different cattle foraging behaviour.     

基于EVI和MNDWI指数的石羊河流域水体、植被时空变化特征

水体和植被是生态环境的重要自然要素,水体和植被的动态研究对认识干旱区生态环境的变化过程及保护和恢复具有重要的理论和实践意义。基于2001-2016年96期MODIS遥感数据和1992、1998、2004、2010、2016年5年Landsat遥感数据,提取EVI植被指数和改进的归一化水体指数（MNDWI）,结合一元线性回归趋势分析方法对石羊河流域的水体和植被的时空变化特征进行了分析。结果表明,近16年来,流域植被EVI整体呈增加趋势,植被覆盖度上升,但随着季节变化,上、中、下游植被覆盖度变化分异明显;EVI植被指数年际变化倾向率与之一致。植被覆盖小幅增加地区占21.5%（春）、14.9%（夏）、8.8%（秋）,保持不变区域占流域总面积的52.5%（春）、40.2%（夏）、35.0%（秋）;此外,仍有轻度退化区和严重退化区。近25年来,研究区水域面积总体呈增大-减小-增大的波动变化趋势,1998年水域面积增大至725.92 km²,此后水域面积2010年减小至710.11 km²;但2010年以后水域面积又呈稳定增加趋势,水域面积2016年增加至723.00 km²。自然因素和人为因素是研究区水体和植被时空变化的驱动因素。
