Abstract: Based on the monthly synthetic NDVI products of MODIS and the topographic data of Liaoning Province (including elevation, slope and aspect), the temporal and spatial changes of NDVI and the correlation between NDVI and topographic factors in Liaoning Province from 2001 to 2020 were analyzed. The results showed that the vegetation situation in Liaoning Province had been slightly improved in the past 20 years. Spatially, the area of vegetation degradation was small and the area of improvement was large. Affected by the low altitude of Liaoning Province, the overall temperature in the study area would not decrease with the increase of altitude, so the elevation of Liaoning Province was directly proportional to the NDVI. The higher the altitude, the greater the NDVI. The NDVI increased first and then decreased with the increase of slope, and the NDVI was the largest on the steep slope. The relationship between slope direction and vegetation was weak, there was no obvious difference, and the north was slightly higher than the south.

Key words: NDVI, terrain factor, temporal and spatial variation, Liaoning Province
