Résumé
Urban vegetation takes on the responsibility of improving the urban environment and human wellbeing. However, the changing pattern and its driving mechanism are still not well understood at the national scale, especially in China under nearly 20 years-long rapid urbanization. In this study, for urban core area in 315 cities, over 18,000 high-resolution remote sensing images across 18 years were used to detect the spatiotemporal changes of urban vegetation and furtherly explore the interaction and independence of rapid urbanization and meteorological change. We found that, urban vegetation coverage decreased from 12.23 % to 5.91 % (-0.35 % per year) in 2003 to 2020. Urban vegetation per capita presented a steeper decline by 68 % (-0.51 m
