Study on the driving mechanism of spatio-temporal non-stationarity of vegetation dynamics in the Taihangshan-Yanshan Region by Jiao Pang, Minli Wang, Huicong Zhang, Liyao Dong, Jiarui Li, Yanrui Ding, Zhenzhou Zhu, Feng Yan

“…In terms of space, vegetation coverage in Yanshan region is generally higher than that in Taihang Mountain with significant spatial heterogeneity.(2) Theil-Sen Median trend and Hurst index analysis shows that about 70% of regions have shown an increasing trend in kNDVI throughout the year and will continue to increase in the future. (3) The analysis results of Optimal Parameter Geodetector Detectors (OPGD) show that evapotranspiration (ET) is the dominant driving factor of kNDVI, and the interactive enhancement benefits with other factors is significant. …”
