Abstract

By using the measured data from 53 sampling sites in Fukang oasis and the related remote sensing data with 250 m resolution from 1-2 band of MODIS Thematic Mapper, this paper analyzed the relationships between plant biomass and vegetation index of oasis ecosystem, and established their monadic linear and non-linear regression models. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between the plant biomass and vegetation indices NDVI and MSAVI. Among the established models, cubic equation was the most available in monitoring oasis ecosystem plant biomass and growth.
