摘要:Vegetation coverage change is a very important indication of the ecological enviroment change. In this paper, we detected the vegetation cover change by retrieving the fraction of the vegetation coverage, using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from MODIS/Terra imagery in recent years from 2000 to 2006, the period before and after the Three Gorges Dam construction. In addition, the accuracy of vegetation fraction retrieval was assessed by the classification data from SPOT5 images. Based on these results, we analyzed the annual vegetation change quantitatively, and it was shown that the vegetation cover took on a little increase in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area in recent seven years, and the vegetation cover grades was transforming from low coverage to high coverage
