Study on Effect of Drought Based on Time Series on Grassland Vegetation in Eastern Inner Mongolia

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper, based on the long sequence meteorological data and the MODIS remote sensing data, calculates the every-ten-day NDVI index and SPI index of the grassland vegetation in the Eastern Inner Mongolia between 2006 and 2010. It applies the SPI index to indicate the degree of drought and the NDVI index to represent the growth status of the grassland vegetation. This paper analyzes the relationship between the NDVI index and the SPI index by the Time Series Spectrum Analysis Method, leading to the conclusion that the vegetations are sensitive to the drought in the green-turning and yellowing period, but relatively not that sensitive in the budding and maturation period, and that, the vegetations in meadow grassland, typical grassland and desert grassland vary in the responses to the drought.
