Popis: The Hehuang Valley (HV) is a key development area in the Qinghai Province; understanding changes in the vegetation within this area is of great significance if we are to maintain the ecological quality of this regional environment. Based on the 30 m spatial resolution Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) time series dataset, this paper analyzes the spatial and temporal characteristics and evolutionary trends of NDVI in the HV from 2001 to 2020 under the influences of climate change and human activities, by applying Mann-Kendall trend analysis, the Hurst index, and residual analysis. Analysis showed that firstly, high NDVI values (>0.5) were distributed in the low elevation areas of the HV except for towns and cropland, while the low NDVI values (
