西南地区是中国重要的碳汇地区,监测植被动态及探究气候变化和人类活动对植被的影响对于深入了解碳循环机制和促进经济可持续发展至关重要。本文通过融合GIMMS NDVI和SPOT NDVI获得1982—2019年1 km NDVI数据,并结合多时相土地利用数据...西南地区是中国重要的碳汇地区,监测植被动态及探究气候变化和人类活动对植被的影响对于深入了解碳循环机制和促进经济可持续发展至关重要。本文通过融合GIMMS NDVI和SPOT NDVI获得1982—2019年1 km NDVI数据,并结合多时相土地利用数据和气象数据,使用趋势分析、偏相关分析和残差趋势分析探究了西南地区人类活动和气候变化对植被动态的相对贡献。结果表明:(1)1982—2019年间西南地区NDVI整体呈上升趋势,年均增速为0.0020 a^(-1);实施退耕还林前NDVI呈下降趋势,实施后转为上升趋势。(2)温度和降水整体对NDVI起促进作用,但存在明显的空间异质性。除中心城市外,温度对NDVI主要起促进作用;而降水对西南地区西部NDVI存在抑制作用,对东部NDVI主要起促进作用。(3)随着气候变化和人类活动影响的区域被分离,气候变化对植被恢复的贡献从30.47%增加到60.28%,而人类活动对植被恢复的贡献从69.53%减少至39.72%。本文研究结果表明在人迹稀少的西南地区西部,人类活动对植被的影响可能会进一步下降。展开更多
