Abstract:In this paper , the Normalized Difference vegetation Index (NDVI) was extracted from Landsat TM/ OLI images in 1992and 2015by RS, GIS and landscape analysis tools . The dynamic changes of vegetation in Lushan Nature Reserve were analyzed and the landscape pattern was simulated accoding to the three index patterns including increasing , decreasing and non — changing to compare the spatial dynamics of vegetation dynamics and their changing patterns in dif- ferent functional areas . The results show that the vegetation in the reserve was basically stable and improved ; the vegeta- tion — stable types in the core area were mainly concentrated in the center , and the increasing types are concentrated in the edge of the region; the vegetation dynamics in the buffer area showed certain aggregation characteristics; the experi- mental area was affected by human activities such as nearby villages and tourism , and the stability was low and changable , and the increasing extent was larger , and the increasement and decreasement coexisted.
