Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Changes in Vegetation Cover and Driving Forces in the Wuding River Basin, Loess Plateau by Hao Zhang, Zhilin He, Junkui Xu, Weichen Mu, Yanglong Chen, Guangxia Wang

“…The study showed that (1) the overall vegetation cover of the watershed increased significantly, and the <i>FVC</i> showed an increasing trend from 2000 to 2013 and a slow decline from 2013 to 2022, with the gradual transformation of low-graded <i>FVC</i> into a higher graded one. (2) The <i>FVC</i> increased spatially from northwest to southeast, and the trend of future changes is mainly decreasing. (3) The strongest explanatory power for the <i>FVC</i> change is the land use type and its interactive combination with rainfall. (4) The conversion of grassland to cropland contributes the most to the vegetation cover at 1.52%, and the increase in the cropland area is more conducive to the increase in the vegetation cover.…”
