Abstract: It is of great significance for maintaining the stability of the local ecosystem and regional sustainable development to explore the effect of precipitation change on vegetation growth in the northern Tibetan Plateau. In this study,we used MODIS-NDVI remote sensing data from 2000 to 2016 to analyze the spatiotemporal changes of vegetation coverage in the northern Tibetan Plateau,and calculated growing season total precipitation,non-growing season total precipitation,precipitation concentration index (PCI),and precipitation centroid (PC) by meteorological data to illustrate the spatiotemporal changes of precipitation pattern in the northern Tibetan Plateau. On this basis,the influence of precipitation variation on the vegetation coverage was discussed. The results showed that the vegetation coverage increased from west to east in the northern Tibetan Plateau. The vegetation coverage decreased in the central and southeastern regions,but increased in the northern and western regions. The inter-annual fluctuation of precipitation in the northern Tibetan Plateau was great. Except for the eastern and southwestern edge regions,precipitation in other regions was not evenly distributed throughout the year,with the significant seasonal distribution. Precipitation was mainly concentrated in the growing season,and the precipitation center was roughly distributed between June and August,with a tendency of delay in the central and southern regions. In the northern Tibetan Plateau,total precipitation in the growing season was the dominant factor affecting vegetation coverage,which had a significant positive correlation with vegetation coverage,while non-growing season total precipitation,PC,and PCI had no significant effect on vegetation coverage.

摘要: 探讨降水变化对藏北高原植被生长状况的影响,对于维护当地生态系统稳定以及区域可持续发展来说具有重要意义。本研究利用2000—2016年MODIS-NDVI遥感数据分析藏北高原植被覆盖的时空变化状况,并利用气象数据计算生长季降水、非生长季降水、降水集度(Precipitation concentrated index,PCI)和降水重心(Precipitation centroid,PC)指数,说明藏北高原降水格局的时空变化,在此基础上,探讨降水变化对植被覆盖状况的影响。结果表明:藏北高原的植被覆盖度呈由西向东递增的趋势,中部和东南部地区的植被覆盖度下降,而北部和西部地区植被覆盖度呈增加趋势;藏北高原降水年际波动较大,除藏北高原东部和西南边缘地区外,其余地区降水常年分布不均匀,降水主要集中在生长季,降水重心大致分布在6—8月间,且中南部有推迟趋势;藏北地区植被覆盖度主要受生长季降水的影响,生长季降水与植被覆盖度呈显著正相关,而非生长季降水、PC和PCI对植被覆盖度的影响并不显著。
