Abstract:
Since ?2000, ?large-scale ?comprehensive ?control ?of ?soil ?and ?water ?loss ?has ?been ?carried ?out ?in ?the
mountainous ?areas ?of ?Hebei ?Province. ?Through ?measures ?such ?as ?enclosure ?protection, ?afforestation ?and ?grass
planting, ?and ?return ?of ?farmland ?to ?forest, ?the ?ecological ?environment ?in ?the ?mountainous ?areas ?has ?been
significantly?improved,?especially?the?vegetation?coverage?in?the?mountainous?areas?has?been?significantly?increased.
However, ?the ?current ?research ?has ?not ?systematically ?analyzed ?the ?vegetation ?evolution ?law ?and ?causes ?in ?the
mountainous?areas?of?Hebei?Province.?It?was?difficult?to?scientifically?evaluate?the?comprehensive?control?of?soil?and
water ?loss ?in ?mountainous ?areas ?of ?Hebei ?Province. ?When ?analyzing ?the ?causes ?of ?vegetation ?evolution, ?the
traditional ?multiple ?linear ?regression ?method ?usually ?adopts ?the ?climate ?variables ?and ?vegetation ?variables
corresponding?to?each?month,?and?fails?to?consider?the?"time-lag?effect"?of?climate?factors,?which?may?lead?to
underestimating?the?contribution?of?climate?factors.
??????The?evolution?of?NDVI?in?mountainous?areas?of?Hebei?Province?was?systematically?studied?from?the?aspects?of
vegetation?types,?vegetation?phenology?and?time?delay?effect?of?climate?factors.?On?this?basis,?a?multiple?linear
regression?model?was?established?considering?the?time?delay?effect?of?climate,?which?is?expected?to?answer?the?cause
of?NDVI?evolution?more?accurately.?With?precipitation?P,?temperature?T?and?potential?evapotranspiration?PET?as
independent ?variables ?and ?vegetation ?NDVI ?as ?dependent ?variables, ?a ?multiple ?linear ?regression ?model ?was
constructed ?to ?improve ?the ?traditional ?residual ?analysis ?method, ?and ?the ?effects ?of ?climate ?change ?and ?human
activities?on?vegetation?NDVI?changes?were?stripped?away.
??????The?results?showed?that?NDVI?in?mountainous?areas?of?Hebei?showed?a?continuous?growth?trend?from?2001?to
2022,?with?an?average?growth?rate?of?0.0037/a.?The?growth?rates?of?woodland,?shrub?and?grassland?were?0.003?5/a,
0.004?0/a?and?0.003?8/a,?respectively.?Using?the?Mann-Kendall?trend?test?method?to?analyze?the?significance?of
NDVI?change,?it?was?found?that?78%?of?the?regions?showed?a?very?significant?increase?trend,?11%?showed?a
significant?increase?trend,?and?only?less?than?2%?showed?a?significant?decrease?or?an?extremely?significant?decrease
trend,?indicating?that?the?vegetation?recovery?effect?of?the?whole?Hebei?mountain?region?after?2001?was?remarkable.
Due?to?the?influence?of?climate?change,?the?growth?period?of?vegetation?in?mountainous?areas?of?Hebei?Province
became?longer,?and?the?start?time?of?the?growing?season?was?advanced?by?9?days?on?average,?while?the?end?time?of
the?growing?season?was?advanced?by?only?1?day.?SOS?in?Bashang?Plateau,?Yanshan?District?and?Taihang?Mountain
area?advanced?by?6?d,?11?d?and?8?d,?and?EOS?advanced?by?2?d,?1?d?and?1?d,?respectively,?meaning?that?the?whole
growing?season?increased?by?4?d,?10?d?and?7?d,?respectively.?The?influence?of?precipitation?on?vegetation?NDVI
mainly ?occurs ?in ?the ?same ?month, ?while ?the ?influence ?of ?air ?temperature ?and ?potential ?evapotranspiration ?on
vegetation?NDVI?has?a?one-month?lag.?After?considering?the?time-lag?effect?of?climate,?the?contribution?of?climate
change?and?human?activities?to?the?evolution?of?NDVI?in?mountainous?areas?of?Hebei?is?39%?and?61%,?respectively.
After?considering?the?delay?effect?of?climate?factors,?the?coefficient?of?determination?R2?of?multiple?linear?regression
increases?from?0.80?to?0.87,?the?root?mean?square?error?decreases?from?0.086?to?0.071,?and?the?average?absolute?error
decreases?from?0.108?to?0.090.?The?performance?of?the?improved?regression?model?is?better?than?that?of?the?original
model.
