Junggar basin is located in the northern part of Xinjiang,China.It is the second largest inland basin in China.It is necessary to understand the vegetation trends and responses to climatic change and human activities in recent decades,so as to better understand the vegetation states and trends and to make more reasonable desertification control strategy.The long time series GIMMS NDVI data from 1982 to 2013 were used to analyze the changes of vegetation.And the CRU climate datasets,including temperature,precipitation and cloud cover from 1982 to 2013 were used to analyze the influence of climatic factors on NDVI in Junggar basin.Results show that:33.03% of Junggar basin shows vegetation degradation,and about 20% of the area shows vegetation restoration.The area of vegetation degradation is mainly distributed in the arid area,where the vegetation cover is sparse.The area of vegetation restoration is mainly located in the vegetation dense area.During the past 32 years,temperatures increased significantly in Junggar Basin,which increased the water evaporation in the ardi regions while the rainfall is relative stable,so that the drought area becomes more droughty and the NDVI decreased because of the drought.While in the semi-humid region of Junggar basin,the increased temperature in recent 32 years promotes the growth of vegetation.Human activities in the past 32 years didn't impose significant influence on the vegetation growth in Junggar basin,indicating that the land desertification control needs a longer period and we should continue to strengthen the monitoring of the regional desertification state and process.

Honghuaerji Forestry Administration is the centralized distribution area of our country's natural Pinus sylvestris (Pinus sylvestris var.Mongolica).Pinus sylvestris accounts for 52 percent of the forest land,The proportion of Birch (Betula platyphylla) stands at 46 percent.Evaluating the ecological functions of the forestry administration,in order to develop sound forest management plan,provide a theoretical basis for guiding forest management.According to forest resources planning and design data in Honghuaerji,national continuous forest inventory assessment methods are used to evaluate the ecological functions of the forestry administration.The results showed that the forest eco-functional level in Honghuaerji is mainly at medium level,occupying a forest area about 93%;eco-functional levels for the good and bad ratings of the forest area are 4% and 3%;global forest ecological function index is 0.55,and the forest eco-functional level is “medium”.In accordance with the evaluation of each forest farm (nature reserve),the best ecological function of the forest is Honghuaerji Nature Reserve,and the worst is Baritu.According to each age group evaluation,the worst ecological function is in young stand forests,ecological functions of the remaining age groups were better than the average.According to species structure evaluation,the ecological function of deciduous broad-leaved forest,deciduous broad-leaved and coniferous forest,and broad-leaved mixed forest are better than pure coniferous forest,pure broad-leaved forest and relatively-pure coniferous forest.According to species origin evaluation,the ecological function of natural forest is better than plantation.

Taking Jiangle County,Fujian Province as an example,forest landscapes were classified into 9 categories according to the dominant tree species.The forest landscape patterns and the changes of the forest landscape in different terrain factors were quantitatively compared in the road effect zone of 1 000m among the different grades of roads,such as provincial road,county road and village road in the same length.Results showed that the diversity level of the forest landscape in the provincial road was high at low altitude or shady slope,while the diversity level was high in village road in areas with high altitude or sunny slope.Fragmentation of forest landscape was serious in the low altitude or slope of village roads,the heavy fragmentation occurs at high altitude of county road.But fragmentation of forest landscape was the most serious in risk slope of provincial road.
