Abstract

非光合植被(Non-photosynthetic Vegetation,NPV)既是陆地生态系统重要组成部分,也是全球C、N平衡分析中关键节点,其盖度是判断我国北方沙尘源区风沙活动强弱的重要指征。基于ASD光谱仪(Analytical Spectral Devices)所测地面高光谱数据对鄂尔多斯沙地草场不同生活型植物(草本、半灌木和灌木) NPV光谱特征进行了分析,构建了干枯燃料指数(Dead Fuel Index,DFI)、纤维素吸收指数(Cellulose Absorption Index,CAI)和NPV盖度(f<sub>NPV</sub>)应用模型,并使用MCD43A4数据在不同草原区进行了验证。结果表明:(1)草本、半灌木、灌木和总体混合NPV光谱反射率具有相似变化趋势,但反射值存在显著差异。(2) DFI和CAI、CAI和f<sub>NPV</sub>、DFI和f<sub>NPV</sub>均呈显著正相关关系(P<0.001),DFI可以代替CAI进行f<sub>NPV</sub>的估算。(3)不同草原区f<sub>NPV</sub>存在异质性,草甸草原、典型草原、沙地草场和荒漠草原分别为75.95%、50.61%、45.88%和32.77%。DFI在典型草原区估算f<sub>NPV</sub>效果最好(f<sub>NPV1</sub>和f<sub>NPV2</sub>平均差值为3.11%,最小差值为0.03%)。在草原区进行f<sub>NPV</sub>估算时,不可将NPV作为均质体处理,还要剔除裸地干扰。;Non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) is a vital component of terrestrial ecosystem, as well as a critical hotspot in global carbon and nitrogen studies. In addition, its coverage in the source area of wind-blown sand in northern China indicates the intensity of wind-blown sand activities. As revealed from recently conducted studies, cellulose absorption index (CAI) was highlighted to be capable of more effectively reflecting the fractional cover of non-photosynthetic vegetation (f<sub>NPV</sub>). However, there was no corresponding band (2000-2050 nm, 2080-2130 nm, and 2100-2240 nm) for CAI calculation in the 36 bands of MODIS data. Subsequently, under the introduction of dead fuel index (DFI), it can be employed directly to estimate f<sub>NPV</sub>, whereas a question is whether DFI accurately reflect the content of NPV cellulose? Is it necessary to establish the relationship between CAI and DFI to achieve more accurate estimation of f<sub>NPV</sub>? It has always been neglected by researchers. Therefore, this paper intended to study the distribution of f<sub>NPV</sub> in various grassland, and compared the difference between direct estimation of f<sub>NPV</sub> by DFI and indirect estimation of f<sub>NPV</sub> by CAI, the influence of bare land on the estimation results were analyzed in order to explain the spatial heterogeneity characteristics of f<sub>NPV</sub> in different grasslands. We analyzed the NPV spectral characteristics of different habitats NPV (herb, semi-shrub and shrub) in sandy grassland of Ordos and constructed the application model of DFI, CAI and f<sub>NPV</sub> based on the ground hyper-spectral data measured by analytical spectral devices, and then validated in different grassland areas. The results showed that the NPV reflectance had similar trends of herb, semi-shrub, shrub and mixed NPV. There was a significantly positive correlation between DFI and CAI, CAI and f<sub>NPV</sub>, DFI and f<sub>NPV</sub> at the level of P<0.001, and DFI could better reflect the change of f<sub>NPV</sub>. But the f<sub>NPV</sub> value directly calculated by DFI was larger than the f<sub>NPV</sub> that calculated indirectly by CAI, the average overestimation was 3.11% when eliminating bare ground. The difference between two values in typical grassland areas was 0.03%. In addition, the NPV should not be treated as a homogeneous material, and bare ground interference should be eliminated when performing f<sub>NPV</sub> estimation.
