The effects of various degrees of meteorological drought on forest vegetation in ecologically Fragile Karst Areas of Guangxi, China

ABSTRACTDrought presents a major challenge to the management of rocky desertification and ecological restoration in the delicate karst ecosystems of Guangxi. In this study, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), fractional vegetation cover (FVC) and net primary productivity (NPP) were se...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACTDrought presents a major challenge to the management of rocky desertification and ecological restoration in the delicate karst ecosystems of Guangxi. In this study, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), fractional vegetation cover (FVC) and net primary productivity (NPP) were selected as vegetation remote sensing parameters, and the spatial response characteristics of different types of vegetation in karst areas of Guangxi Province to light, moderate, severe and extreme drought were analyzed to provide scientific basis for the evaluation of the impact of drought on vegetation in karst areas. The results are as follows: (1) NDVI, FVC and NPP showed a fluctuating increasing trend from 2000 to 2022, and the increasing rates were 0.058, 6.90%, and 43.3gC.m-2 per decade respectively. During this period, the number of light, moderate and severe drought days showed a decreasing trend, but the number of extreme drought days tended to increase. (2) The negative correlation of NDVI, FVC and NPP and drought increased from moderate to extreme drought, and from light to extreme drought, the negative correlation between NDVI and FVC and drought decreased, while that of NPP increased. (3) Light and moderate droughts had obvious negative impact on Chinese fir and broad-leaved forest, whereas severe and extreme droughts had obvious negative effect on eucalyptus and bamboo forest
