Because of its unique geographical location and ecological function,the Liaohe Delta Wetland is important in maintaining regional ecological balance and security.Monitoring and evaluating changes in the wetland are therefore of great importance.We used medium-and high-resolution satellite data,meteorological station data,and site meas-urement data to analyze changes in the area and spatial distribution of Phragmites australis and Suaeda salsa in the Liaohe Delta Wetland from 1998 to 2017,as well as their growth response to the climate change.The results showed that during 1998-2017,the areas of both P.australis and S.salsa wetlands alternated through periods of decreasing,increasing,and then decreasing trends.The annual change in the area and spatial distribution range of S.salsa fluctu-ated more than that of P.australis.The annual variation of normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)in P.aus-tralis wetland showed an upward trend from 1998 to 2017.The area of P.australis cover that was improved,un-changed,and decreased accounted for 81.8％,12.3％,and 5.9％,respectively,of the total area;evaporation and wind speed were the main meteorological factors affecting the NDVI;and contribution rates of the climate change and hu-man activities to the NDVI were 73.2％and 26.8％,respectively.The area with vegetation cover being mainly S.salsa that was improved,unchanged,and decreased accounted for 63.3％,18.3％,and 18.4％,respectively,of the total area;and no meteorological factors significantly affected the NDVI of S.salsa in the region.The interaction between vegetation growth and meteorological factors may help to explain the increasing trend in vegetation cover.The improvement in wetland vegetation also led to carbon sequestration and an increase in sequestration capacity.
