Article Abstract
The study evaluated GIMMS NDVI based on MODIS NDVI and SPOT NDVI over the same period from 2000 to 2015. We assessed their absolute values, dynamics, trends and cross-relationships between any two of the NDVIs for the national scale, as well as four separate land use types, i.e., paddy field, dry land, forest, and grassland. GIMMS NDVI was numerically greater than MODIS NDVI and SPOT NDVI. The three NDVIs exhibited equal capability of capturing monthly phenological variations. During the study period, the three NDVIs showed increasing trends in most regions, with GIMMS NDVI showing the smallest increment. Pronounced differences were identified in trends between GIMMS NDVI and MODIS NDVI or SPOT NDVI in the northwest, northeast, south-central China, Tibetan Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, implying that GIMMS NDVI trends in these regions should be interpreted with caution. High correlations existed between the three datasets. MODIS NDVI and SPOT NDVI showed stronger correlations at national scale. The GIMMS NDVI and MODIS NDVI were in highest accordance for dry land, while MODIS NDVI and SPOT NDVI were in higher accordance for the paddy field, forest, and grassland than dry lands.

Assessing the effects of climate change and human activities on vegetation changes in the karst region of southwest China is of great significance for the sustainable development of karst ecosystems. Based on the GIMMS NDVI and SPOT NDVI fusion data， combined with precipitation and temperature meteorological station data from 1982 to 2019， the effects of climate change and human activities on vegetation changes before and after the ecological restoration projects （ERPs） were investigated by using trend analysis， partial correlation analysis， and modified residual analysis. The results showed that： ① Temporally， the trend of NDVI had shifted from a slow decrease （>0.

As a significant ecological barrier, the source region of the Yellow River serves as a crucial water source in China, and its vegetation dynamics play a pivotal role in water conservation. Monitoring vegetation dynamics is essential for ecological protection and the achievement of sustainable development goals, as it facilitates systematic assessment of vegetation restoration, supports the advancement of ecological civilization, and promotes coordinated economic and environmental development. Based on the newly released AVHRR GIMMS NDVI3g data from 1982 to 2020 provided by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, this study aims to identify the driving mechanisms influencing vegetation dynamics in the source region of the Yellow River over the past 40 years (1982-2020) by utilizing ordered cluster analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and the Geodetector method.

Understanding long-term vegetation dynamics is essential for assessing ecosystem responses to climate change, particularly in ecologically sensitive regions like the Tibetan Plateau. While numerous studies have analyzed vegetation changes on the Tibetan Plateau from 1982 to 2015 using remote sensing data, most have been limited by insufficient temporal coverage and low-resolution datasets, constraining the accuracy of trend detection and driver analysis. To address this gap, we utilize a high-resolution Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) dataset, generated by merging GIMMS and SPOT data via the Extended Observation Time (EOT) algorithm, to investigate vegetation trends, breakpoints, and their climatic drivers over 34 years, with a specific focus on elevation effects.

Grassland plays a crucial role in the global cycles of matter, energy, water and, climate regulation. Biomass serves as one of the fundamental indicators for evaluating the ecological status of grassland. This study utilized the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach (CASA) model to estimate Net Primary Productivity (NPP) from meteorological data and the Global Inventory Monitoring and Modeling System (GIMMS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) remote sensing data for northern China's temperate and alpine grasslands from 1981 to 2015.

The study of spatiotemporal variation and driving forces of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is conducive to regional ecosystem protection and natural resource management. Based on the 1982-2022 GIMMS NDVI data and 26 influencing variables, by using the Theil-Sen median slope analysis, Mann-Kendall (M - K) test method and GeoDetector model, we analyzed the spatial and temporal characteristics of vegetation cover and the driving factors of its spatial differentiation in the northern foothills of the Yinshan Mountains in Inner Mongolia. The NDVI showed a significantly increasing trend during 1982-2022, with a growth rate of 0.
