Vegetation is among the key elements of ecosystems, and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) most frequently used tools for studying changes in regional dynamics. Studying these their drivers essential understanding interactions between ecosystems; therefore, here, we analyzed spatial temporal patterns NDVI Jilin Province influencing factors. The correlation climatic factors was using Pearson's analysis. Additionally, explored human activity geographically weighted regression results were as follows: (1) From 1998 to 2020, although trends different types showed some differences general, they all an increasing trend. (2) ranged from − 0.031 0.046. values exhibited a trend toward growth regions. (3) Climate change are more important than improving vegetation. (4) Among factors, negative temperature stronger positive correlation, while correlations precipitation equally strong. (5) Human such GDP population have mostly effects on NDVI, whereas land-use type shifts effects. this study contribute deeper change. discussions can provide theoretical references ecological management sustainable development Province.

Vegetation plays a crucial role in terrestrial ecosystems, and there has been substantial shift global vegetation cover recent decades. China is recognized for its impact on changes, which are influenced by both climate change human activities. Therefore, this research aims to assess the respective influences of modification activities variations China. First, changes explored between 1982 2020 using satellite-image derived index, known as Normalized Difference Index (NDVI). Second, multiple regression model based time-lag analysis used simulate NDVI. In addition common climatic factors such temperature, precipitation, solar radiation intensity relative humidity, atmospheric CO2 concentration directly reflect considered model. Finally, influence variation alteration determined reconstructed Results: (1) Precipitation most important influences, while carbon dioxide humidity have least influence. (2) The simulation error before 2000 was 0.875%, considerably lower than after 2000. (3) After 2000, favorably affected recovery study area, with an average degree >30%.

Since the 21st century, China has shown dramatic rural depopulation and rapid urbanization, surface vegetation been affected by this urban–rural development pattern. Using remote sensing population data from 2000 to 2020, we investigated spatial temporal evolution of terrestrial under coexistence “rural loss urbanization”. We also analyzed relationship between loss, urbanization area covered four types (forest, grassland, shrubs cropland). found that forests is increasing, shrubs, grasslands, cropland decreasing. Spatially, results Moran index prove characterized autocorrelation. Grasslands are predominantly located on western side Hu line, forests, croplands eastern line. Rural contributes growth forest grassland cover, but inhibits shrub cover. The advance reduces benefits As a result direct effect, reduction cropland, while promotes opposite true for spillover effect. This study helps us better understand direction ecological shifts in migration patterns.

Studying the spatiotemporal evolutionary characteristics of vegetation and effect precipitation changes is necessary for understanding regional ecological environment. We used trend analysis, partial correlation significance tests, residual analysis to analyze evolution driving factors fractional cover (FVC) in Jinghe River Basin (JRB) from 1998 2019. The results showed that coverage JRB significantly improved FVC an increasing 90.64% areas JRB, overall annual change was extremely significant (p ≤ 0.01). However, insignificant trend; distribution developed a uniform direction centroid tended move backward. area with between concentration index accounted largest proportion (18.47%). Precipitation generally favored recovery; however, limited non-precipitation dominated FVC. Our study contributes more comprehensive effects patterns on facilitate protection.
