Spatio-temporal distribution of NDVI and its influencing factors in China

• The main factor that affects NDVI in most areas of China is surface soil moisture (SSM), followed by temperature, while in arid areas root zone soil moisture (RZSM) and profile soil moisture (PSM) are the main influencing factors. • The climate zones of China can be roughly divided into northern, southern and northwestern inland areas, and there are transitional zones between different zones. • Deep learning can simulate NDVI well, and the...
