Summary: Mining activities can cause damage to the surrounding ecology and environment, with vegetation change analysis being a key tool to assess this damage. Most mining areas show degraded vegetation, but some areas have improved vegetation, highlighting the importance of ecological reclamation and environmental protection measures.

Summary: The study found significant differences in the impact of elevation on vegetation cover and climate change, with increasing vegetation cover in low elevations primarily due to reforestation and improved agricultural productivity, while vegetation cover in high elevations decreased under climate warming.

Summary: Vegetation change is crucial for the global carbon cycle and climate. China has shown overall improvement in greening, particularly in the Loess Plateau and southwest regions. However, the Yangtze River Delta and Bohai Rim have not experienced as much growth. Natural conditions are favorable for vegetation growth, but current socioeconomic development has a negative impact. By understanding the factors affecting vegetation growth, we can guide future vegetation recovery in China and other similar countries.

Summary: Coal mining activities can lead to large-scale and high-intensity ecological disturbances, affecting ecosystem and vegetation coverage. This study analyzed vegetation coverage changes in the North Shanxi coal base from 1987 to 2020 using remote sensing images and predicted future trends. The overall trend showed an increase in vegetation coverage, mainly concentrated in the southwest and southeast mountains, with future vegetation coverage showing strong randomness.

Summary: The frequency of precipitation has a greater impact on the maximum growth of vegetation on the Tibetan Plateau than the total precipitation. Increased precipitation frequency improves soil moisture, reduces daytime temperature, and increases nighttime temperature, thereby alleviating summer drought.

Summary: The study analyzed the relationship between vegetation dynamics and atmospheric patterns over Iceland from 2001-2019 using remote sensing, MODIS NDVI images, NCEP/NCAR reanalysis dataset, and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) values. The results showed that there is not a strong relationship between NAO phases and the occurrence of dry or green months in Iceland. The shifting of Greenland Low height was identified as the most important factor influencing the occurrence of months with denser or less dense vegetation.

Summary: This study investigates the interannual variation of vegetation on the Tibetan Plateau and its relationship with local climatic factors using satellite remote sensing data. The results show two primary patterns of vegetation cover, uniform and dipole, which are influenced by different climatic factors.

Summary: This study developed a calibrated relative threshold method based on ground observations to estimate the phenological dates and growth periods of winter wheat in North China. The results showed significant differences in phenological dates between the north and south regions, with a general trend of advancement in winter wheat phenology. Furthermore, early phenological events showed a weak correlation with temperature, while later events were more responsive to warming.

Summary: This paper investigates the vegetation dynamics of the Loess Plateau in China and finds a significant greening trend. Human activities are identified as the main driver of vegetation variation, particularly reforestation and land-use change. The study highlights the importance of monitoring vegetation changes in fragile ecosystems for ecological restoration planning.

Summary: By analyzing the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in Jilin Province, we studied its spatial and temporal patterns as well as the factors influencing it. The results showed that NDVI in different vegetation types generally increased from 1998 to 2020, and climate change factors were more important than human activity factors in improving vegetation.

Summary: In this study, the authors used the single value decomposition method to examine the covariation between winter North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) and spring Eurasian normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The results demonstrate a significant association between the meridional tripole structure of winter North Atlantic SST and the anomalous centers of spring Eurasian NDVI. Additionally, surface air temperature was identified as the most important factor related to spring NDVI changes.

Summary: Precipitation has the greatest impact on maximum vegetation growth, while temperature contributes the most to changes in peak of growing season. The effects of cloud cover vary depending on moisture regime, with more cloud cover delaying peak growth in wetter regions but advancing it in dry areas.

Summary: Cropland area and cropping frequency are crucial for regional food production. Urbanization and declining agricultural labor force have changed land use and cropping patterns. Using satellite data, this study found a decrease in cropland area but a stable double-cropping area in the North China Plain. Winter wheat and summer maize rotation showed a significant increase, likely due to land-use and grain subsidy policies.

Summary: This study compares the relationship between different NDVI and found that there is a significant correlation between NDVI of AVHRR and NDVI of MODIS, and between NDVI of VIRR and NDVI of AVHRR. The relationship between the three is NDVI of VIRR < NDVI of AVHRR < NDVI of MODIS. Machine learning, as an important method in artificial intelligence, is used to construct the Fengyun Satellite NDVI correction method. By using linear regression algorithm, the NDVI value of Fengyun Satellite VIRR is corrected to a level similar to NDVI of MODIS, significantly improving accuracy and product quality.
