基于NDVI先验知识的LAI地面采样方法

针对非均质中低分辨率像元的叶面积指数LAI验证中如何布设基本采样单元ESU的问题,提出基于NDVI先验知识的ESU布设方法,并采用不同植被类型、不同均匀程度的地表作为模拟场,分析对比了方法的精度及稳定性。结果显示,本文方法用NDVI先验知识描述植被的生长空间分布信息,能相对准确地划分植被的不同生长水平,有效降低层内方差。在草地和森林地区的试验中,精度与稳定性均优于传统的随机采样、均匀采样和基于分类图的3种采样方法。因此,本文提出的采样方法为大尺度非均质区域LAI地面验证的采样方案提供了新的设计思路。     

基于DEM-NDVI的高山植被带定量刻划

根据不同高山植被类型具有不同归一化植被指数响应的特点,通过对NDVI的分析来定量刻划高山植被带的海拔分布。首先,利用DEM、NDVI构建DEM-NDVI散点分布图;然后,结合地面调查资料与WorldView-2高分遥感影像对DEM-NDVI散点分布图进行统计回归分析;最后,利用分析结果定量刻划高山植被垂直分带结构。将该方法应用于四川卧龙大熊猫保护区的卧龙关沟,结果表明：① NDVI随海拔升高而呈“Z”字形变化;② DEM-NDVI散点图比样本点DEM-NDVI分布图能更完全地表达高山植被NDVI随高程变化的特征;③ 卧龙关沟东北坡高山植被带海拔高度为3255~4415 m,西南坡高山植被带海拔高度为3193~4473 m,与地面调查得到的区域代表植被的分布高度基本一致。     

中国比辐射率空间分布特征分析

使用2003-2013年MOD/MYD11C3地表比辐射率光谱数据、MOD/MYD13C2植被指数光谱数据,合成全国各月地表比辐射率、NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)。基于DEM数据分析比辐射率与NDVI随海拔、坡向的变化规律。结果表明:(1)比辐射率低值段(0.960~0.970)主要分布在我国西北荒漠地区,面积比例全年变化不显著,代表了干燥裸土下低比辐射率的特征;中值段(0.970~0.975)分布于我国大部分植被覆盖地区,面积比例夏高冬低,代表植被覆盖下混合像元的中比辐射率特征;高值段(0.975~0.980)位于我国部分高海拔和高纬度地区,面积比例冬高夏低,代表冰雪与植被混合像元的高比辐射率特征。(2)比辐射率与NDVI随坡向变化呈明显的"双峰双谷"分布。东南坡、西坡为峰值,最大值位于东南坡;南坡、北坡为谷值,最小值位于北坡。两者变化一致性很高。受不同坡向太阳方位角下的地形敏感性与植被覆盖综合影响,比辐射率表现出随坡向的峰谷变化规律。(3)随海拔升高,比辐射率呈垂直地带性变化。存在3个下降区:250 m~1250 m、2500 m~3000 m和4750 m~6000 m;3个上升区:1250 m~2500 m、3000 m~4750 m和6000 m~6500 m。这与NDVI随海拔变化特征类似,反映垂直下垫面植被变化对比辐射率空间分布的影响。     

中国草原区植被变化及其对气候变化的响应

利用1982~2006年GIMMS NDVI和气象数据,探究中国草原区植被变化及对气候的响应。结果表明,近25 a中国草原区植被覆盖总体呈上升趋势,但季节变化空间差异明显。春季温度对温带典型草原、高寒草甸草原和高寒典型草原植被生长有重要影响,而夏季和秋季温度同样对高寒草甸草原影响显著;夏季降水增多能明显促进夏季温带荒漠草原植被生长。除8月份以外,温带草原5~9月NDVI均与前一个月降水显著正相关;在生长季内,高寒草原NDVI与同期温度显著正相关,但8月份除外。此外高寒草原植被在生长最旺盛时期对降水变化存在1~3个月滞后期。     

水土流失区马尾松林植被提取的土壤调节指数分析

为实现水土流失区植被遥感信息的准确提取,本文采用2007年ALOS 10 m多光谱影像,利用土壤调节植被指数SAVI和MSAVI,对福建长汀水土流失区马尾松林不同植被覆盖密度的3个实验区进行植被提取,并选用不同的土壤调节因子（L=0.25,0.5,0.75,1）做实验,将结果和以NDVI植被指数提取的结果进行对比,分析了提取效果及受土壤噪音的影响程度。实验表明,SAVI指数能提高水土流失区的植被提取精度。在中、低植被覆盖区,其提取的总精度比NDVI高出2%~7%,Kappa系数高出7%~18%;而土壤调节因子L的取值对植被信息的提取也呈现出一定的规律性,即：随着L从0向1递增,SAVI提取稀疏植被的能力上升而探测阴坡植被的能力下降。总体来看,对于低植被覆盖和中等植被覆盖地区,可分别用SAVI（L取0.75）和SAVI（L取0.5）来提取植被信息,对于高植被覆盖区,仍可直接用NDVI进行植被信息提取;研究发现MSAVI在植被信息提取中并不具有特别的优势。

生态过程模型已成为探测陆地植被对气候变化响应的重要手段之一,最适温度作为模型模拟过程中的一个重要参数,其准确性对模型模拟结果有重要影响。本研究以2001-2010年MODIS-NDVI、2001-2010年气象台站温度数据,以及2000年土地覆盖数据,结合前人研究的成果,将最适温度定义为适宜植物生长温度上下限之间所有月均温度的均值,并从植被类型角度出发,探讨不同植物生长的最适温度,以期为生态过程模型的改进提供参数优化方案。研究表明,不同植被类型植被生长的最适温度存在较大差异。常绿针叶林、常绿阔叶林、落叶针叶林、落叶阔叶林、混交林、灌丛、草地、农田和建设用地的最适温度,依次为22.4℃、23.4℃、14.1℃、19.5℃、20.7℃、22.6℃、15.4℃、24.8℃和25.6℃。

柴达木河都兰区位于青海柴达木盆地东南部,干旱少雨,生态环境脆弱。基于MODIS NDVI数据,应用遥感方法,对都兰区2000—2011年的植被覆盖率进行了计算,并分析了其影响因素。结果表明：研究区内裸土和低覆盖率植被的面积逐年减小,而较低覆盖率、中等覆盖率、较高覆盖率及高覆盖率植被的面积均逐年增加;研究区植被覆盖率与降水及相对湿度呈正相关关系,区域植被生长与地下水埋深的关系较为密切;宗加-诺木洪植被区的地下水埋深范围为0.7～3.5 m,在水埋深为1.7 m的地方,植被长势最好;当研究区的地下水水质矿化度小于3 g·L^-1时,植被发育较好。

An understanding 0f variati0ns in vegetati0n c0ver in resp0nse t0 climate change is critical f0r predicting and managing future terrestrial ec0system dynamics.

宁夏植被覆盖动态变化及与气候因子的关系

利用1999-2009年的SPOT-VGT NDVI数据,计算出宁夏近11 a来的植被覆盖度,对其变化特征进行了研究,结合同期气象观测资料,从空间上分析了植被覆盖度与区域气候因子之间的关系。结果表明,南部六盘山区和北部引黄灌区植被覆盖度高,而中部干旱带等地区的植被覆盖度较低,但中部干旱带却有较高的绝对变化率;从时间变化来看,近11 a来宁夏大部分地区的植被覆盖度在逐年增加。植被覆盖度的变化与气候因子有关,除引黄灌区和六盘山林区外,中部干旱带等地的植被覆盖度与降水呈正相关,区域气候的干湿波动,影响了植被覆盖度的高低;在有灌溉保障条件的农业垦殖区,植被覆盖度还与气温呈正相关,即有效积温的增加,会促进农作物生长,从而导致区域植被的覆盖度提高。     

Vegetation greenness modeling in response to climate change for Northeast Thailand

In Northeast Thailand, the climate change has resulted in erratic rainfall and tem- perature patterns. The region has experienced both periods of drought and seasonal floods with the increasing severity. This study investigated the seasonal variation of vegetation greenness based on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index （NDVI） in major land cover types in the region. An assessment of the relationship between climate patterns and vegeta- tion conditions observed from NDVI was made. NDVI data were collected from year 2001 to 2009 using multi-temporal Terra MODIS Vegetation Indices Product （MOD13Q1）. NDVI pro- files were developed to measure vegetation dynamics and variation according to land cover types. Meteorological information, i.e. rainfall and temperature, for a 30 year time span from 1980 to 2009 was analyzed for their patterns. Furthermore, the data taken from the period of 2001-2009, were digitally encoded into GIS database and the spatial patterns of monthly rainfall and temperature maps were generated based on kriging technique. The results showed a decreasing trend in NDVI values for both deciduous and evergreen forests. The highest productivity and biomass were observed in dry evergreen forests and the lowest in paddy fields. Temperature was found to be increasing slightly from 1980 to 2009 while no significant trends in rainfall amounts were observed. In dry evergreen forest, NDVI was not correlated with rainfall but was significant negatively correlated with temperature. These re- sults indicated that the overall productivity in dry evergreen forest was affected by increasing temperatures. A vegetation greenness model was developed from correlations between NDVI and meteorological data using linear regression. The model could be used to observe the change in vegetation greenness and dynamics affected by temperature and rainfall.
