Abstract  

Vegetation is the most essential part of terrestrial ecosystem, its temporal/spatial changes in normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) have been widely used in correlation studies. In this paper, MODIS-NDVI datasets in 2000-2011 are used for monitoring vegetation changes in the Ebinur Lake basin, MVC method is applied to make up the 12-year maximum NDVI, DEM data are divided into six intervals to revealing the relationship between NDVI and altitude; established 12-year NDVI trends by linear regression, analysis the trends of NDVI in different elevation intervals. The results showed that: (1) Overall, NDVI values comply well with elevation in six scales, with R2>0.88, elevation with 10 equal intervals and NDVI have the highest correlation, with R2=0.97; NDVI is increasing with the elevation under 2 500 m, is decreasing above 2 500 m; (2) The average of NDVI trend is 1.03 in the studied area, showing that the overall improvement of eco-environment; and it has a decreasing trend of vegetation above 1 500 m, while it shows a rising trend of vegetation blow 1 200 m in the past 12 years in the studied area; (3) In each scale, the average values of the NDVI trend are in the range of -42-54, indicating that large parts of study area are slightly improved and light degradation. The paper provide a new view to study the NDVI changes under different elevation intervals, it is of significance and value to local ecological environment construction.
