A remote sensing evidence on the marginality, stagementation and spatiotemporal heterogeneity of vegetation evolution characteristics in the Yinshan Mountains, China: Based on PKU... by Menglin Yan, Jingyang Lu, Yingying Ma, Chao Ma

“…The Theil-Sen (T-S) Median trend analysis &amp; Mann-Kendall (M-K) trend test, Hurst index, correlation analysis, partial correlation analysis, residual analysis and bivariate spatial autocorrelation (Bi-SA) analysis were used for quantitative analysis. Findings revealed: (1) Vegetation distribution had spatial heterogeneity, with a stepwise distribution from southeast to northwest; (2) Vegetation growth had temporal stagementation, with “stable-plunge-rise” pattern; (3) Climate trend displayed “warmer and wetter”, with growth rates of 0.045 °C/a and 0.558 mm/a, respectively; (4) Vegetation response to precipitation was sensitive with strong spatial correlation (Moran’s I = 0.88, P < 0.01); (5) Influence of human activities on the growth of vegetation was weak. …”
