Research on the Changes of Vegetation Coverage in Turks County Based on NDVI

24 periods of 10-day hierarchy schemes of the vegetation coverage of Turks County within 3 years are obtained through inversion, and annual change and interannual change of the vegetation coverage of Turks County are analyzed. The result demonstrates that the average vegetation coverage of the whole county is about 40%~45% during the returning green period, the peak value of the vegetation coverage appears in the last ten days of July, and the highest vegetation coverage of the three years is as high as 60% or above. During the past 12 years, the vegetation change of Turks County is stable-based that accounts for 39.6% of the total area of the county, the area of grassland slightly recovered equals to that of grassland slightly degraded, and the total of both lands is 39.1% of the whole county while the area of grassland significantly degraded accounts for only 8.7%.

Studies on Climate Potential Productivity of Dryland Farming in Fuxin of Liaoning Province

Based on the meteorological data for the period of 1951-2009 in Fuxin,the article estimates the photosynthesis, photo-temperature and climate potential productivity of dryland farming in Fuxin of Liaoning province, and analyzes the potential productivity interannual change in crop growth period (April-September). The result shows that the long-time average value of the photosynthesis, photo-temperature and climate potential productivity are 31.89×104kg/hm2, 26.80×104kg/hm2and 18.29×104kg/hm2in Fuxin. The interannual change trend of potential productivity is that the photosynthesis, photo-temperature and climate potential productivity are overall reduced, the photosynthesis and photo-temperature potential productivity are not obvious, and the climate potential productivity is obvious. The monthly climate potential productivity contour maps show that the climate potential productivity change dramatically, and the low evalue areas of crop growth period have the continue expansion trend after 2009.
