Vegetation Fraction Change Monitoring in Beijing by Remote Sensing

Article Preview

Abstract:

Vegetation fraction was a most important index to score the vegetation coverage on the land surface. Improved dimidiate pixel model was applied to calculate and analyze the vegetation fraction change from September 2000 to September 2013 in Beijing, China. The results showed that vegetation coverage of Beijing in 2013 year was much better than 2000 year. The area of low and middle-low coverage of Beijing in 2013 decreased 379 km2 and 591 km2 respectively, and the area of high and middle coverage increased 885 km2 and 85 km2 respectively. The research provided a necessary reference for the related researches of vegetation fraction.
