Time lag responses of Gurbantonggut desert vegetation to meteorological factors are analyzed by using
NOAA / AVHRR NDVI time series data from 1982 to 2003 and meteorological factors such as temperature,
precipitation, sunshine hours. Conclusions are drawn as follows: in recent 22 years, NDVI trend in
Gurbantonggut desert is generally upward; its monthly average values are symmetrically presented with a
single peak. From the view of inter-annual changes, annual precipitation, relative humidity, maximum winter
snow depth and NDVI obviously have a positive correlation; annual evaporation, sunshine hours, maximum
frozen soil depth and NDVI significantly have a negative correlation; annual average temperature, ground
temperature and NDVI have no obvious relationship. From the view of different stages of vegetation growing
season, in early and late growing season, vegetation growth and pre-period heat accumulation are closely
related, while vegetation growth and precipitation mostly have a negative correlation. In the middle of
growing season, high temperature will increase water evaporation, vegetation growth is slow due to water
shortage; precipitation and vegetation growth obviously have a positive correlation, its impacts on vegetation
growth is significantly lagging, the previous one and two month precipitation influences vegetation growth
obviously.
