Abstract:
      Normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) can be characterized as an indicator of vegetable growing conditions while precipitation resources is a key factor to affect the vegetable growing conditions and ecological construction in Longdong of Gansu.The correlation between NDVI and different-temporal-scale standard precipitation index(SPI) in Longdong of Gansu are studied based on the data of NOAA/AVHRR and precipitation over the same period in 1982~2003.The results show:(1) The sensitivity of vegetable to precipitation is more significant to semi-arid area than semi-humid area in vegetable growing season;(2) The most significant correlation is found in NDVI and 3-SPI while the most insignificant is in NDVI and 1-SPI;(3) The annual-variational amplitudes of NDVIs are-12%~10% in semi-arid area and-10%~13% in semi-humid area,respectively,which agree well with SPI in the former at 95% significant level (P<0.05), but not significant in the latter;(4) Annual NDVIs are significantly correlated with the precipitations of four seasons in arid area (P<0.05) while significant only in winter and spring in semi-humid area.
