基于SPOT VEGETATION数据的中国西北植被覆盖变化分析

 基于遥感和地理信息系统的技术,利用SPOT-VEGETATION NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)数据对我国西部地区植被覆盖的情况进行了动态监测。采用MVC（Maximum Value Composites）、一元线性回归趋势分析和变化幅度百分比等方法分析西部地区植被变化特征,并结合西北五省土地利用类型图,分析不同植被类型的年最大化NDVI(MNDVI)变化趋势及特点。其结果是:近7 a来植被覆盖存在普遍退化的趋势,且2000-2001与2001-2002年度的变化幅度较大。在局部区域植被有改善的趋势, 但总的改善幅度小于退化幅度。分析结果表明, 植被改善的区域主要分布在陕西和宁夏的大部分地区以及新疆西北部和西南部地区。大部分地区植被退化。而且不同植被的MNDVI在相同的年份表现出相似的变化特点和趋势。     

Vegetation change of ecotone in west of Northeast China plain using time-series remote sensing data

Multi-temporal series of satellite SPOT-VEGETATION normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized difference water index (NDWI) data from 1998 to 2007 were used for analyzing vegetation change of the ecotone in the west of the Northeast China Plain. The yearly and monthly maximal values,anomalies and change rates of NDVI and NDWI were calculated to reveal the interannual and seasonal changes in vegetation cover and vegetation water content. Linear regression method was adopted to characterize the trends in vegetation change. The yearly maximal NDVI decreased from 0.41 in 1998 to 0.37 in 2007,implying the decreasing trend of vegetation activity. There was a significant decrease of maximal NDVI in spring and summer over the study period,while an increase trend was observed in autumn. The vegetation-improved regions and vegetation-degraded regions occupied 17.03% and 20.30% of the study area,respectively. The maximal NDWI over growing season dropped by 0.027 in 1998–2007,and about 15.15% of the study area showed a decreasing trend of water content. Vegetation water stress in autumn was better than that in spring. Vegetation cover and water content variations were sensitive to annual precipitation,autumn precipitation and summer temperature. The vegetation degradation trend in this ecotone might be induced by the warm-drying climate especially continuous spring and summer drought in the recent ten years.     

基于多源遥感数据的武汉市人口空间分布格局演化

基于DMSP/OLS夜间灯光指数和SPOT-VEGETATION逐旬NDVI数据构建人居指数,模拟武汉市2000,2012年人口空间分布。采用空间自相关模型,从时空角度分析2000—2012年武汉市人口的空间分布格局及演变规律。结果表明:1利用夜间灯光强度估算方法可快速准确模拟武汉市人口空间分布。2人口空间分布格局有向武汉市中心城区集聚的趋势,具有"中间高周围低"的特征。3武汉市人口空间分布表现出较强的空间自相关性,根据局部自相关分析,"高-高"类型区主要分布在武昌、硚口、江汉、江岸等中心区,"低-高"类型区主要出现在江河流域附近;随着时间的推移人口分布的"高-高"类型区扩大,表明武汉市人口在向中心城区聚集的过程中远城区也形成了相应的人口集聚中心。     

Land surface phenology from VEGETATION and PROBA-V data. Assessment over deciduous forests

Land surface phenology has been widely retrieved although no consensus exists on the optimal satellite dataset and the method to extract phenology metrics. This study is the first comprehensive comparison of vegetation variables and methods to retrieve land surface phenology for 1999–2017 time series of Copernicus Global Land products derived from SPOT-VEGETATION and PROBA-V data. We investigated the sensitivity of phenology to (I) the input vegetation variable: normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), leaf area index (LAI), fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR), and fraction of vegetation cover (FCOVER); (II) the smoothing and gap filling method for deriving seasonal trajectories; and (III) the method to extract phenological metrics: thresholds based on a percentile of the annual amplitude of the vegetation variable, autoregressive moving averages, logistic function fitting, and first derivative methods. We validated the derived satellite phenological metrics (start of the season (SoS) and end of the season (EoS)) using available ground observations of Betula pendula, B. alleghaniensis, Acer rubrum, Fagus grandifolia, and Quercus rubra in Europe (Pan-European PEP725 network) and the USA (National Phenology Network, USA-NPN). The threshold-based method applied to the smoothed and gap-filled LAI V2 time series agreed best with the ground phenology, with root mean square errors of ˜10 d and ˜25 d for the timing of SoS and EoS respectively. This research is expected to contribute for the operational retrieval of land surface phenology within the Copernicus Global Land Service.     

Detecting winter wheat phenology with SPOT-VEGETATION data in the North China Plain

Monitoring phenological change in agricultural land improves our understanding of the adaptation of crops to a warmer climate. Winter wheat–maize and winter wheat–cotton double-cropping are practised in most agricultural areas in the North China Plain. A curve-fitting method is presented to derive winter wheat phenology from SPOT-VEGETATION S10 normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data products. The method uses a double-Gaussian model to extract two phenological metrics, the start of season (SOS) and the time of maximum NDVI (MAXT). The results are compared with phenological records at local agrometeorological stations. The SOS and MAXT have close agreement with in situ observations of the jointing date and milk-in-kernel date respectively. The phenological metrics detected show spatial variations that are consistent with known phenological characteristics. This study indicates that time-series analysis with satellite data could be an effective tool for monitoring the phenology of crops and its spatial distribution in a large agricultural region.
