摘要

With global warming,the great changes in the patterns of plant growth have occurred.The conditions in early spring and late autumn have changed the process of vegetation photosynthesis,which are expected to have a significant impact on net primary pro-ductivity(NPP)and affect the global carbon cycle.Currently,the seasonal response characteristics of NPP to phenological changes in dryland ecosystems are still not well defined.This article calibrated and analyzed the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)time series of Advanced Very-High-Resolution Radiometer(AVHRR)data from 1982 to 2015 in the Loess Plateau,China.The spatial and temporal distributions of vegetation phenology and NPP in the Loess Plateau under semihumid and semiarid conditions were invest-igated.The seasonal variation in the NPP response to vegetation phenology under the climate change was also analyzed.The results showed that,different from the northern forest,there was distinct spatial heterogeneity in the effect of climate change on the dynamic change in vegetation growth in the Loess Plateau:1)an advance of the start of the growing season(SOS)and a delay of the end of the growing season(EOS)significantly increased the NPP in spring and autumn,respectively,in the humid southeast;2)in the arid northw-est,the NPP did not significantly increase in spring and autumn but significantly decreased in summer.
