The temporal-spatial dynamic variation of vegetation coverage from 2010 to 2019 in Urad Grassland, Inner Mongolia has been investigated by analysing on MODIS NDVI remote sensing products. This paper applies pixel dichotomy approach and linear regression trend analysis method to analyze the temporal and spatial evolution trend of vegetation coverage over the past 10 years. The average annual vegetation coverage showed a downward trend in general from 2010 to 2019. The vegetation distribution and change trend analysis provide a thorough and scientific reference for policymaking in environmental protection.

In northern China, grassland has degraded severely and wind erosion occurs remarkably due to irrational land use in recent years. By employing sand sampler and mobile wind tunnel, an observation for 6 years was made to analyze the mechanisms of wind erosion in Xilamuren grassland, the central of Yinshan Mountains, Inner Mongolia. Results show that: (1) vegetation is the decisive factor for controlling wind erosion and the inhibiting effect of vegetation height on wind erosion is greater than that of vegetation coverage. (2) Wind erosion modulus in the initial period of enclosure reaches 1313.7 t km-2a-1 and with the improvement of the grassland vegetation, wind erosion decreases year by year. (3) For every 1000 kg soil eroded by wind, 15 kg organic matter, 227g available nitrogen, 262g available phosphorus and 120g available potassium lose in the region at the same time, being a tremendous fertility loss. Therefore, the protection of base grassland and restoration of degraded grassland are two fundamental approaches to control wind erosion on the grassland.

Chen Barag Banner is located in the typical farming-pastoral ecotone of Inner Mongolia, and it is also the core area of Hulunbuir steppe. Typical agricultural and pastoral staggered production mode so that the vegetation growth of the region not only determines the local ecological environment, and animal husbandry production, but also have a significant impact on the whole Hulunbuir ecological security and economic development. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the change of vegetation in this area. Based on 17 MODIS Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) images, the authors reconstructed the dynamic change characteristics of Fraction vegetation coverage(FVC)in Chen Barag Banner from 2000 to 2016. In this paper, first at all, Pixel Decomposition Models was introduced to inversion FVC, and the time series of vegetation coverage was reconstructed. Then we analyzed the temporal-spatial changes of FVC by employing transition matrix. Finally, through image analyzing and processing, the results showed that the vegetation coverage in the study area was influenced by effectors including climate, topography and human actives. In the past 17 years, the overall effect of vegetation coverage showed a downward trend of fluctuation. The average vegetation coverage decreased from 58.81 % in 2000 to 48.14 % in 2016, and the area of vegetation cover degradation accounts for 40.09 % of the total change area. Therefore, the overall degradation trend was obvious.

Using three TM images of 1991, 2004 and one OLI image of 2014 as data sources, we extracted dynamic change information of desertification land during 23 years in Wuda district in Inner Mongolia, discussed spatio-temporal evolution processes of desertification land of this area aiming to provide decision-making references for desertification control and eco-environmental restoration and reconstruction. Abundance Maps of sand, vegetation, water and low albedo were derived based on linear spectral mixture analysis (SMA). Owing to the nice correlation between vegetation abundance and vegetation coverage, vegetation abundance was used to extract desertification land types. The results show that, during the past of 23 years, the total desertification area decreased by 114.23 square kilometers, particularly for the extremely severe desertification. The reducing desertification land mostly transformed into non-desertified land, such as water, coal and residential region, due to human intensive development activities.
