Abstract

Based on daily data recorded in 13 weather stations in Songnen grassland over the period 1982 - 2013, temporal variations in drought were investigated using the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) and characteristics in NDVI were also analyzed using a time series data set of GIMMS NDVI3g during growing season (from April to October). In addition, for exploring the effects of climate change on vegetation, the correlation relationships between SPEI and NDVI were studied at different time scales. The results shown that the spatial distribution of NDVI presented a gradually reducing characteristic from the northeastern to southwestern. The NDVI shown an increasing trend with a slope of 0.0004. Monthly NDVI exhibited the same pattern, with higher mainly ranged from July to September. The SPEI index experienced a downward trend and the drought often occurs in every month except in April. As a whole, this paper found that the correlation relationship between NDVI and SPEI was weak besides June and September. The lagging effect that existed in the impact on vegetation of drought was no significant. However, the lagging effect of one month lag was better than two month lag.
