Assessments of these relationships were performed by calculating correlation coefficients between 10-day values of NDVI and the both climatic parameters throughout the growing season (April-October). The correlations were calculated for every pixel as well as for the aggregated datasets representing different land cover types and the entire study area. The results indicate that strong significant positive correlations exist between NDVI and each of the explanatory climatic parameters at all spatial scales. Temperature was considered to be the leading climatic factor controlling intra-annual NDVI dynamics. The correlation coefficients between NDVI-rainfall and NDVI-temperature exhibit a clear structure in terms of spatial distribution. The results indicate that the response of vegetation to climatic factors increases in order from shrubs and desert vegetation to semi-desert, short grassland and to steppe vegetation."],["dc.description.abstract","Die Arbeit untersucht zeitliche Zusammenhänge zwischen Vegetationsdynamik und Dynamik von Klimaelementen (Temperatur und Niederschlag) in einem Trockengebiet des Zentral-Kasachstans. Die Datengrundlagen der Arbeit umfassten den Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) von dem Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sowie Messwerten der Klimastationen für Niederschlag und Temperatur. Die Schätzung der Stärke des Zusammenhanges erfolgte durch Berechnung des Koeffizienten der Korrelation und Kreuzkorrelation zwischen den Zeitreihen der Dekadenwerte der NDVI und der beiden Klimaelemente während der Pflanzenwachstumsperiode. Die statistischen Zusammenhänge wurden auf verschiedenen Skalen räumlicher Generalisierung betrachtet: von dem gesamten Gebiet bis zu einzelnem Pixel. Die Ergebnisse beweisen, dass auf allen Betrachtungsskalen strenge Interrelationen zwischen der Dynamik des NDVI auf einer Seite und den beiden Klimaelementen auf der anderen Seite bestehen. Temperatur erwies sich als der Hauptfaktor für die Kontrolle der Vegetationsdynamik durch das Klima. Die räumliche Verbreitung der Werte des Korrelationskoeffizienten zeigte ein deutliches Muster.

The linear regressions between NDVI, NDVIc, SR, SAVI and RSR as explanatory variables and ground measurements of LAI at 166 plots as a dependent variable were produced using common modelling approach - Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression fitted to all data points, as well as GWR. Accuracy and precision statistics indicate that the GWR method made significantly better predictions of LAI in all simulations than OLS did. The relationships between LAI and the explanatory variables were found to be significantly spatially variable and scale-dependent. GWR has the potential to reveal local patterns in the spatial distribution of parameter estimates. it demonstrated sensitivity of the model's accuracy and performance to scale variation. The GWR approach enables finding the most appropriate scale for data analysis. This scale was different for each VI. The results suggest that spatial non-stationarity and scale-dependency in the relationship between LAI and remote sensing data has important implications for estimations of LAI based on empirical transfer functions.

The results indicate a significant increase in NDVI with a value of 11.35% over the growing season during the 22-year period. Totalled over the entire vegetated area, about 35% of all pixels exhibited significant upward trend in growing season NDVI. We found that NDVI increase in spring was the main contributor to the general upward trend, the spring NDVI increased in more than 50% of all pixels and showed an average value of 13.58%. Correlation analysis indicated a gradual rise in temperature as the only factor controlling trend in spring NDVI. Significant increase in vegetation activity was also identified for summer season, but its amplitude (9.23%) and comprising area (25.13% of all vegetated pixels) were less than for spring. Downward trends in growing season NDVI occurred in 2.17% of the total vegetated area. The greening trends of spring, growing season and summer NDVI strongly related with the climatic parameters: for each land cover type, we found significant correlation with spring temperature and total precipitation; 75% of all upward trends in growing season NDVI were explained by the combination of these both variables.

Contrasting to usual up-scaling approaches, this study uses in the intermediate step an estimation method based on application of geostatistics in the Landsat ETM+ spectral feature space. To connect ground-based measurements with spectral reflectance in Landsat ETM+ bands, this method employs ordinary Kriging in the three-dimesional (3-D) space where spectral features of satellite data are used instead of geographic coordinates. The most appropriate combination of the 3-D space spectral bands (bands 4 and 5) was then assigned with corresponding MODIS bands. In the final step, AGB could be mapped over the large area covered by the MODIS data.

The MOD250_LAI product uses a physical radiative transfer model which establishes a relationship between LAI, fraction of vegetation cover (FVC) and given patterns of surface reflectance, view-illumination conditions and optical properties of vegetation. In situ measurements of LAI and FVC made at 166 plots using hemispherical photography served for calibration of model parameters and validation of modelling results. Optical properties of vegetation cover, summarized by the light extinction coefficient, were computed at the local (pixel) level based on empirical models between ground-measured tree crown architecture at 85 sampling plots and spectral values in Landsat ETM+ bands. Influence of view-illumination conditions on optical properties of canopy was simulated by a view angle geometry model incorporating the solar zenith angle and the sensor viewing angle. The results revealed high compatibility of the produced MOD250-LAI data set with ground truth information and the 30 m resolution Landsat ETM+ LAI estimated using the similar algorithm. The produced MOD250_LAI was also compared with the global MODIS 1000-m LAI product (MOD15A2 LAI). Results show good consistency of the spatial distribution and temporal dynamics between the two LAI products. However, the results also showed that the annual LAI amplitude by the MODI 5A2 product is significantly higher than by the MOD250_LAI. This higher amplitude is caused by a considerable underestimation of the tropical rainforest LAI by the MOD15A2 during the seasonal phases of low leaf production. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
