Time-series GIMMS and SPOT VGT NDVI datasets, which served as an evaluation index of
the vegetation cover, were used in this paper to detect and analyze the spatial and temporal …

Vegetation phenology dynamics reflect the response of biosphere to global climate change
and terrestrial hydrological cycle mechanism changes. It is connected well to ecosystem …

This study characterized and compared changes in vegetation condition in areas with
different gradients during the past three decades across the entire Loess Plateau. For this …

Since the implementation of the great western development strategy in 2000, the ecological
environment in the western region of China has been significantly improved. In order to …

In order to reduce the soil erosion rate on the Chinese Loess Plateau, the Chinese
government launched in 1999 the “Grain for Green” program (GfG). The objective of this …

Since the implementation of “Grain for Green” program in 1999, remarkable changes have
taken place in the vegetation of the Loess Plateau, China, especially in the forests. The …

Since the start of returning cropland to forest and grassland project, vegetation in the Loess
Plateau has grown rapidly. To clarify the vegetation variation and change trends in this …

Vegetation, being a core component of ecosystems, is known to be influenced by natural
and anthropogenic factors. Studying vegetation cover dynamics variation and its drivers is …

Based on the MODIS-NDVI data, this study investigated the patterns of spatiotemporal
variation of vegetation coverage in the Loess Plateau during 2000-2014, using the methods …

It is crucial to understand vegetation phenology changes and their relationship with climate
change at biome-level when projecting regional ecosystem carbon exchange and climate …
