[Spatiotemporal variation of growing season length of vegetation in China.]

We analyzed the variation trend of growing season length (GSL) of different periods in provinces (regions) of China and the corresponding movement velocity of GSL isolines at 150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 days, based on daily mean temperature data of 822 meteorological stations from 1951 to 2017. In this study, the definition of GSL given by the world meteorological organization was adopted, together with Slope, Hurst and Mann-Kendall indices. The results showed that the GSL in northern China changed significantly during 1951-2017. The extension of GSL was faster in the north than the south, and faster in high-altitude areas than low-altitude ones. The trend of future GSL change in most regions of China converged with the current extension trend. The extension of GSL in northern provinces (regions) was generally 0.1-0.2 d·a 基于822个气象站点1951—2017年的日均温度数据,采用世界气象组织给定的植被生长期(GSL)定义,利用Slope、Mann-Kendall和Hurst指数分析中国各省(区)不同时期的GSL变化趋势及相应时期150、200、250、300和350 d的GSL等值线移动速度。结果表明: 研究期间中国北方地区GSL变化显著。GSL增长速度表现为北方快于南方、高海拔快于低海拔。中国大部分地区未来GSL变化趋势与当前的变化趋势相同。北方绝大部分省(区)GSL增长速度在0.1~0.2 d·a
