Abstract:In order to accurately evaluate the restoration benefits of artificial precipitation operations on the ecological quality of forest vegetation in the Daxing'anling Prefecture, the net primary productivity of vegetation was obtained according to the light energy utilization model based on monthly NDVI data from EOS/MODIS. Combined with vegetation coverage, the Vegetation Ecological Quality Index was calculated to evaluate the ecological effects of forest ecological restoration type artificial precipitation stimulation carried out since 2012. Results showed that: (1) during the growing season from 2000 to 2022, the overall ecological quality of forest vegetation showed an improvement trend. The proportion of regions with vegetation ecological quality evaluation grades of "good" and "medium" had shown a significant increasing trend. (2) the average values of forest Vegetation Ecological Quality Index in the high-frequency, medium-frequency and low-frequency areas of the artificial precipitation operation from 2012 to 2022 were 7.9 %, 5.5 % and 4.9 % higher than the average values from 2000 to 2011, respectively. Therefore, the artificial precipitation enhancement operation carried out in spring in the Daxing'anling Prefecture had a significant effect on forest vegetation restoration and ecological improvement.
