Characteristics and Attribution of Vegetation Coverage Change in the Manas River Basin, Xinjiang
Vegetation coverage directly represents the characteristics and changes in eco-environment in arid regions. Under the background of accelerated climate change and intensified human activities
it is thus urgent to investigate the changes and attributions of vegetation; however
the contributions of different controlling factors have rarely been quantified. Take the Manas River basin as the study area
this study analyzed the temporal and spatial changes of vegetation coverage with NDVI and climate data during the period 1982—2015
and further differentiated the contributions of climate change and human activities to vegetation change. From 1982 to 2015
the spatial pattern of NDVI decreased from the east to the west and from the north to the south. During the past 34 years
the NDVI showed a significant upward trend (+0.60%/10 a)
but exhibited interannual variations
and it changed abruptly in 1995. The NDVI increased/decreased significantly before\\after 1995 (+1.50%/10 a and -0.40%/10 a)
respectively. Compared with 1982—1995
the vegetation change in 1996—2015 was the combined effects of climate change and human activities. The contributions of climate change and human activities to vegetation change were 52% and 48%
respectively. The method for contribution quantification effectively differentiated the impacts of different factors on vegetation change
and the results showed that it was urgent to implement land management to improve eco-environment in the Manas River basin.
