Abstract  

Jun Ma Chang of Shandan county is the biggest area of breeding horse in China. Beacausevegetations are degradating with excess of grazing and unreasonable exploitating in recent years, it isobviously important to study condition of vegetations.This paper estimated ground biomass in Jun MaChang of Shandan county. First, field measurements of ground biomass were obtained from 18 plots(1 m×1 m), which were accurately positioned using Global Positioning System. In order to select appropriatefactors as variables for the biomass models, the correlations between biomass and TM4 band, NDVI,RVI, the first principal component and their combinations were calculated.According to the selectedfactors, the multiple linear models of ground biomass as a function of one or more indices, such as NDVI,RVI and etc, were tested by using the step wise regression analysis technique, respectively.The mostoptimal model was chosen among these models and used to estimate ground biomass of typical area in JunMa Chang.

Key words:  Jun Ma Chang of Shandan county      Ground biomass      NDVI      TM4
