Spatiotemporal Evolution of NPP and Its Influencing Factors in Kunming City Based on the OPGD Model by ZHANG Zhongzhi, ZHAO Junsan, CHEN Guoping, WANG Lin, LIN Yilin, ZHANG Dandan

“…［Results］ 1) The annual mean distribution of vegetation NPP in Kunming City was spatially and temporally heterogeneous, with a distribution pattern higher in the west and lower in the east, and increased significantly at an average annual growth rate of 7.08 g/(m2·a) (C-based). 2) The fragmentation degree of the vegetation landscape increased; the fragmentation degree was mismatched with vegetation NPP in terms of space, and it had a significant negative effect on the spatial and temporal distribution of vegetation NPP. 3) Changes in vegetation NPP were the result of the combined effects of climatic, anthropogenic and topographic factors; the kernel Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (kNDVI), land surface temperature, and vegetation landscape fragmentation had stronger explanatory power than factors such as temperature, precipitation, and slope; and the interactions between the factors better explained the spatial and temporal changes in vegetation NPP. …”
