Green change in the core build-up areas of China: Information from MODIS data

Urban built-up areas are the core area of global population agglomeration, where the interactions between human beings and the surrounding ecological environment supporting their survival are particularly intense. With the acceleration of urbanization since the 21st century, the level of green veget...

description	Urban built-up areas are the core area of global population agglomeration, where the interactions between human beings and the surrounding ecological environment supporting their survival are particularly intense. With the acceleration of urbanization since the 21st century, the level of green vegetation in the core built-up area (CBA) and its response to human activities are of great interest. In this study, an innovative green index (GI) was developed for evaluating green level in CBA from three aspects of “quantity-stability-balance”.

Spatiotemporal pattern, regional differences and geographical variances of green level during 2001–2018 in China’s CBAs were explored using geographic analysis methods (i.e. mutation test, trend analysis, spatial autocorrelation, Theil index, and scale variance).
