Abstract

During the global warming, the duration of drought is increasing and the impact on forest ecosystems could be further intensified. It is always a concern that diverse forests respond to different duration of drought differently. In this research, the non-parametric Wilcoxon test was used to compare the forests' growth state in short-term drought (2001-2008) and prolonged drought (2009-2014), which based on the best time scale of SPEI that obtained by the correlation between MODIS EVI and SPEI. The results show that (1) the relationship between the June of EVI and the 5 months scale of SPEI (SPEI-5) is most close; (2) The growth state of two forests is similar in the short-term drought years, but natural forests are greater affected by prolonged drought than planted forests, and the percentage of planted forests with better growth state more than natural forests. The duration of droughts will increase continuously in the future, given that we suggest more attention should be paid to natural forests.
