    Abstract:

    The “Golden Triangle” of MSGN (Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia), a region with abundant energy resources, is a new energy base of China. To get the vegetation coverage status and its dynamic change, the 2000~2009 SPOT VEGTATION NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) of Golden Triangle energy in MSGN region was used to calculate the maximum vegetation coverage in one-year of every pixel, and the variation between ten years was analyzed. Result showed that the FVC (fractional vegetation cover) in Golden Triangle area was increased generally from 2000 to 2009. The highest average value was 45.45% in 2008, and the lowest average value was 33.74% in 2000. The vegetation coverage was declined slightly in 2005 and 2009, and the main reasons were attributed to city expansion and regional resources development.
