Dynamics of annual forest cover in the Altai Mountains from 1992 to 2020 (a: Altai Mountains; b: evergreen needle-leaved forest; c: deciduous needle-leaved forest; d: mixed forest; e: deciduous broad-leaved forest; f: low mountain belt; g: middle mountain belt; h: subalpine belt; i: alpine belt).

Liancheng Zhang et al. explore the impact of climate change and human activities on the #ForestCoverageArea and normalized difference vegetation index ( #NDVI ) of the Altai Mountains.

#ClimateChange & #HumanActivities ➡️ #ForestCoverageArea (FCA) & #NormalizedDifferenceVegetationIndex (NDVI)
Place: #AltaiMountains, China
Results:
1️⃣ #ForestManagementPolicies (main) & climate change ➡️ FCA
2️⃣ The driving mechanisms vary in different altitude zones
