Spatial-Temporal Variation of Vegetation NDVI and Its Response to Climate in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area from 2012 to 2021 by FU Xiang, LIU Hao

“…Exploring the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) variation of vegetation and its response to climate change in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is of great significance for regional ecological environment restoration and vegetation improvement.According to MODIS NDVI data and meteorological data,Sen trend analysis,coefficient of variation (CV),and correlation analysis were adopted to analyze the spatio-temporal variation characteristics of vegetation and its response to climate change in the Greater Bay Area in recent 10 years.The results show that:①The NDVI of the vegetation in the Greater Bay Area generally shows a slow upward trend,with a rising slope of 0.003 3 /a,and the effect of continuous improvement of vegetation is great;②the NDVI stability of vegetation in the Greater Bay Area is relatively strong,with an average CV of 0.054 8.The areas with low and lower fluctuation changes of vegetation account for 89.94%,while those with high and higher fluctuation changes are mainly distributed in Foshan,Zhongshan,Dongguan,Shenzhen,Zhuhai,south of Guangzhou,and other regions with rapid economic development;③the correlation between NDVI of vegetation and average temperature in the Greater Bay Area is higher than that between NDVI of vegetation and precipitation.Temperature is the dominant factor affecting vegetation growth,and precipitation is mainly negatively correlated with the NDVI of vegetation.The research results can provide a theoretical basis for the ecological environment governance and green sustainable development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.…”

Characteristics of Water Distribution in Vadose Zone in the Soil Site and Its Impact on Site Preservation by ZHANG Xiaozhou, YUN Zhihan, YUAN Wei, LI Yi, ZHAO Fan

“…Affected by water,ruins of soil texture are prone to crack,crispness,salt accumulation,moss and other hazards,which is not conducive to their preservation.In order to find out the source of soil water damage in the soil site so as to provide a reliable basis for the preservation of this site,based on the refined hydrogeological survey,this paper used the Solinst Levelogger groundwater recorder and MW307GD-M4 wireless gradient soil three-parameter monitoring terminal to continuously monitor the water trend in vadose zone in a long time sequence,and analyse the cause and mechanism of water damage in the archeological shed.The results show that the moisture content of the vadose zone of the ruin is generally high,with that of the same layer outside the shed about 10% higher than that inside the shed,but the soil permeability coefficients mainly range from 2.07×10^-5 to 3.41×10^-5cm/s,suggesting the weak effect of the rainfall outside the shed on the soil in the shed through horizontal infiltration.The phreatic water level ranges from 3.2 to 5.6 m,with an amplitude of about 0.25 m within the hydrological year.The rising capillary water subject to its fluctuation can directly affect the excavation interface under extreme rainfall conditions as the main control factor of the water damage of the ruin of soil texture.By reference to the engineering-geological concept of “upstream flow interception,downstream flow discharge and local flow control”,regulating the moisture content of the soil body in the sacrificial area casts new light on the preservation of ruins of soil texture.…”
