用SPOT-VGT数据制作中国2000年度土地覆盖数据

土地覆盖是自然环境与人类活动相互作用的中心,准确而现势性强的土地覆盖数据是科学研究、资源管理和环境监测等应用的基础资料。该研究作为欧盟联合研究中心2000年全球土地覆盖计划(GLC2000)的一部分,利用2000年的1km空间分辨率的SPOT-4VGTS10数据与DEM、积温和降水等通过AHP方法合成的自然因子数据,采用FAO的土地覆盖分类系统(LCCS),通过非监督分类方法制作中国2000年的土地覆盖图。研究结果表明,在HANTS方法去云处理的基础上,结合气候分区,利用一年内每10天最大值合成的NDVI时间序列自然因子数据集可对除干旱区外大部分地区进行很好的分类,对干旱区则采用8月下旬的VGT原始数据取代NDVI数据参加分类,可达到较好的分类结果。     

A time series for monitoring vegetation activity and phenology at 10-daily time steps covering large parts of South America

Abstract

It is widely accepted that natural resources should only be sustainably exploited and utilized to effectively preserve our planet for future generations. To better manage the natural resources, and to better understand the closely linked Earth systems, the concept of Digital Earth has been strongly promoted since US Vice President Al Gore's speech in 1998. One core element of Digital Earth is the use and integration of remote sensing data. Only satellite imagery can cover the entire globe repeatedly at a sufficient high-spatial resolution to map changes in land cover and land use, but also to detect more subtle changes related for instance to climate change. To uncover global change effects on vegetation activity and phenology, it is important to establish high quality time series characterizing the past situation against which the current state can be compared. With the present study we describe a time series of vegetation activity at 10-daily time steps between 1998 and 2008 covering large parts of South America at 1 km spatial resolution. Particular emphasis was put on noise removal. Only carefully filtered time series of vegetation indices can be used as a benchmark and for studying vegetation dynamics at a continental scale. Without temporal smoothing, subtle spatio-temporal patterns in vegetation composition, density and phenology would be hidden by atmospheric noise and undetected clouds. Such noise is immanent in data that have undergone solely a maximum value compositing. Within the present study, the Whittaker smoother (WS) was applied to a SPOT VGT time series. The WS balances the fidelity to the observations with the roughness of the smoothed curve. The algorithm is extremely fast, gives continuous control over smoothness with only one parameter, and interpolates automatically. The filtering efficiently removed the negatively biased noise present in the original data, while preserving the overall shape of the curves showing vegetation growth and development. Geostatistical variogram analysis revealed a significantly increased signal-to-noise ratio compared to the raw data. Analysis of the data also revealed spatially consistent key phenological markers. Extracted seasonality parameters followed a clear meridional trend. Compared to the unfiltered data, the filtered time series increased the separability of various land cover classes. It is thus expected that the data set holds great potential for environmental and vegetation related studies within the frame of Digital Earth.     

长白山区植被生长季NDVI时空变化及其对气候因子敏感性

本文利用长白山区SPOT/VGT NDVI 数据和气象数据,分析该区不同植被类型NDVI时空变化特征以及与气候因子的相关关系,并探讨了植被对气候变化响应的滞后性。结果表明：①2000-2009 年,长白山区植被NDVI 逐年变化总体呈增长趋势,增长区域的面积占全区面积的83.91%,在空间上主要集中在北坡和西坡,NDVI减少区域集中在南坡;②NDVI变化率随季节和植被类型变化而不同,NDVI增长主要集中在5 月和9 月,而7 月NDVI变化较小,甚至出现下降趋势;③植被NDVI与温度和降水存在着显著的正相关性（p<0.01）,且NDVI与温度的相关性高于与降水的相关性,且随海拔升高,NDVI与温度相关性增强;④NDVI对气温和降水变化的响应存在滞后期, 不同植被类型,滞后期存在差异。苔原NDVI对温度和降水响应的滞后期大约10 天,而针阔混交林和针叶林NDVI 对温度和降水响应的滞后期约为20 天。     

东北三省耕地物候期对热量资源变化的响应

选取1998-2010 年期间的SPOT/VGT NDVI逐旬时间序列数据、物候观测数据和气候数据,利用函数拟合方法、GIS空间分析和统计方法,分析了东北三省不同耕地物候期对热量资源变化的响应关系。首先,基于拟合数据提取了耕地物候期特征(包括生长季开始期、峰值期、结束期与生长季长度等),验证结果显示与不同作物的观测物候期存在明显对应关系,能较好地反映作物物候期特征的宏观时空分异。其次,分析了1991-2009 年期间区内主要农业热量资源(≥ 10 oC初日,初霜日,温度生长期天数和≥ 10 oC积温) 的时空变化特征。最后,重点分析了1998-2009年期间耕地物候期特征对热量资源变化的响应。结果表明,生长季开始期与≥10 oC初日在松嫩平原北部、三江平原东部和吉林省中东部的正相关系显著(P < 0.01);生长季长度与温度生长期天数亦在上述区域内表现为显著正相关关系(P < 0.05);然而,生长季结束期与初霜日的相关关系整体上较不明显;此外,生长季长度与≥ 10 oC积温的相关关系存在两种相反的情形,在松嫩平原西北部、三江平原、吉林省中部和辽宁省中部的负相关关系显著(P < 0.05),而黑龙江省中南部和三江平原部分区域,两者相关系数达到0.55 (P < 0.05),分别反映了作物生长发育周期的缩短态势和中早熟作物被中晚熟作物替代的趋势。     

中国东北耕地物候期对气候变化的响应(英文)

We investigated the responses of cropland phenophases to changes of agricultural thermal conditions in Northeast China using the SPOT-VGT Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) ten-day-composed time-series data, observed crop phenophases and the climate data collected from 1990 to 2010. First, the phenological parameters, such as the dates of onset-of-growth, peak-of-growth and end-of-growth as well as the length of the growing season, were extracted from the smoothed NVDI time-series dataset and showed an obvious correlation with the observed crop phenophases, including the stages of seedling, heading, maturity and the length of the growth period. Secondly, the spatio-temporal trends of the major thermal conditions (the first date of ≥10℃, the first frost date, the length of the temperature-allowing growth period and the accumulated temperature (AT) of ≥10℃) in Northeast China were illustrated and analyzed over the past 20 years. Thirdly, we focused on the responses of cropland phenophases to the thermal conditions changes. The results showed that the onset-of-growth date had an obvious positive correlation with the first date of ≥10℃ (P < 0.01), especially in the northern part of the Songnen Plain, the eastern part of the Sanjiang Plain and the middle and eastern parts of Jilin Province. For the extracted length of growing season and the observed growth period, notable correlations were found in almost same regions (P < 0.05). However, there was no obvious correlation between the end-of-growth date and the first frost date in the study area. Opposite correlations were observed between the length of the growing season and the AT of ≥10℃. In the northern part of the Songnen Plain, the eastern part of the Sanjiang Plain and the middle part of Jilin and Liaoning Provinces, the positive correlation coefficients were higher than the critical value of 0.05, whereas the negative correlation coefficients reached a level of 0.55 (P < 0.05) in the middle and southern parts of Heilongjiang Province and some parts of the Sanjiang Plain. This finding indicated that the crop growth periods were shortened because of the elevated temperature; in contrast, the extended growth period usually meant a crop transformation from early- or middle-maturing varieties into middle or late ones.     

基于机理模型的不同空间分辨率影像提取湖面面积的误差研究

本文提出了一种湖面面积误差机理模型。首先,以椭圆形(或圆形)、三角形、六边形的面状地物为例,推算不同空间分辨率遥感影像提取面积间的关系,据此推测不同空间分辨率影像提取的湖面面积之间存在着较为固定的函数关系,且函数的系数与湖面的几何形状有关。然后,构建了不同空间分辨率影像的湖面面积间的误差模型,并用多组不同影像提取了艾比湖、阿雅克库木湖面积数据验证其有效性和适应性。结果表明:误差机理模型成功模拟了低空间分辨率影像提取的湖面面积与高空间分辨率影像提取的湖面面积之间的误差关系,可在一定程度上估计误差的具体数值并予以校正。因此,该模型具有校正低分辨率影像提取的湖面面积的能力,为在大区域范围准确地提取湖面面积创造条件。

This finding indicated that the crop growth periods were shortened because of the elevated temperature; in contrast, the extended growth period usually meant a crop transformation from early- or middle-maturing varieties into middle or late ones.
