Analysis the Vegetation and Soil Moisture in Beijing-Tianjin Area to Prevent Desertification by Long-Term Satellite Remote Sensing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The desertification to Chinas Beijing-Tianjin area is analyzed by using the state of vegetation, soil moisture and meteorological data that are collected by the satellites. The state of vegetation, soil moisture and long-term changes of temperature and precipitation in the selected study areas (that are near Beijing-Tianjin area) is analyzed and compared, from which the trend of desertification is predicted. Thus the effective long-term protection and control strategy can be set up.
