Abstract:

Net primary production(NPP)and its driving force analysis is one of the key issues in global change research. Based on GIMMS NDVI3g, ERA5 meteorological and grassland type data, annual grassland NPP was generated by CASA model. Taking grass of Inner Mongolia as the research object, the change trend of grassland NPP (1982-2015) were analyzed by using the trend analysis, partial correlation, multiple correlation and residual analysis, and the impact of climate factors and human activities on the NPP change was quantitatively determined. The results showed that: (1) From 1982 to 2015, the grassland area with extremely significant (P<0.01) and significant (P<0.05) NPP increase accounted for 8.83% and 24.01% of the total area of the study area; while the area with extremely significant (P<0.01) and significant (P<0.05) decrease accounted for 4.26% and 8.08%. The area of NPP increase was greater than the area of decrease, showing the grassland in recovery state. (2) 92.87% of the area in the study area showed a good correlation of NPP with climate factors. The temperature driving, precipitation driving and composite driving of precipitation and temperature accounted for 2.06%, 70.71% and 20.11% of the total area, respectively. The impact of climate change on the three grasslands was desert steppe > typical steppe > meadow steppe. (3) Human activities also had a great impact on grassland NPP. Among them, 41.12% of the total grassland area played a positive role (P<0.1) and 5.34% played a negative role (P<0.1). In summary, from 1982 to 2015, the grasslands in Inner Mongolia were generally in a state of restoration, and the ecological environment was greatly improved under the combined effects of climate and human activities.
