基于地形梯度的黄河流域中段植被覆盖时空分异特征——以延安市为例

植被恢复是黄河流域生态保护和高质量发展的关键,深入研究植被的时空分异特征具有重要的现实意义。本研究以4期Landsat TM/OLI为遥感数据源,采用像元二分模型估算植被覆盖度,运用转移矩阵、地学信息图谱和重心迁移模型分析1988—2018年黄河流域中段延安市植被覆盖的时空演变特征;并结合地形数据,利用地形分布指数分析高程、坡度上植被覆盖的空间响应规律。结果表明: 研究期间,延安市植被覆盖呈北低南高的空间分布特征,植被覆盖受政策影响而大幅增高;1988—2018年,延安市植被变化模式以持续向好和稳定不变为主导,有50%的区域植被覆盖情况改善,83%的高植被覆盖区域保持稳定。在各高程和坡度等级上,高植被覆盖的分布优势度随时间变化而增大;在各坡度等级上,植被增加百分比和植被稳定性随坡度增加而增大。延安不同等级植被覆盖的迁移方向与植被覆盖整体的迁移趋势基本一致,总体向北偏西转移。延安植被建设已取得显著成效,但北部植被覆盖状况仍待提高,优化植被类型和结构是未来植被建设的重要方向。

Spatial and temporal variations of vegetation coverage in the middle section of Yellow River Basin based on terrain gradient:Taking Yan'an City as an example.

Vegetation restoration is an important requirement for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. In-depth understanding the temporal and spatial differentiation of vegetation has important practical significance. With the four Landsat TM/OLI remote sensing images as the data source, the pixel binary model was used to estimate vegetation coverage. The transfer matrix, geological information map, and the center of gravity migration model were used to analyze the temporal and spatial variations of vegetation coverage in Yan'an City in the middle of the Yellow River Basin from 1988 to 2018. The spatial variation of vegetation cover to elevation and slope was explored using terrain distribution index combined with terrain data. The results showed that vegetation coverage in Yan'an was low in the north region and high in the south region. The vegetation coverage increased significantly due to policy changes. From 1988 to 2018, the vegetation change pattern in Yan'an was dominated by continuous improvement and stability. Vegetation coverage increased in about 50% of the area. 83% of the study area with high vegetation coverage remained stable. At each elevation and slope level, the advantage of high vegetation cove-rage increased with time. At each slope level, vegetation cover increased with slope. The transition direction of vegetation cover of different levels in Yan'an was basically consistent with the overall spatial change trend of vegetation cover, with the overall shift being from north to west. The vegetation construction in Yan'an has achieved remarkable results, though the vegetation coverage in the north still needs to be improved. Optimizing vegetation types and structures is an important direction for future vegetation construction.
