“…In general, human activities have both positive and negative impacts on vegetation cover [10]. For cropland, irrigation is the main means of supplementing crop water scarcity and ensuring effective water management, and is a major factor influencing changes in cropland vegetation, which are directly affected by human activities [46,47]. Irrigation is becoming increasingly crucial in a rapidly changing climate, since more frequent and severe extremes, such as droughts and heatwaves, increase the risk of plant death and production, while also putting an additional strain on water resources.…”

Owing to limited research on the interactions between cropland vegetation and climate and irrigation, this study used the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) as a cropland vegetation indicator to describe vegetation dynamics. Potential evapotranspiration (PET) was calculated using the Penman–Monteith equation. A partial correlation analysis and a Pearson correlation coefficient were used to determine the spatial response mechanisms of cropland vegetation to different climatic factors and irrigation in China for the period 1985–2015. The results show that different climatic factors (precipitation, PET, and water deficits) display positive correlations with cropland vegetation in China. A stronger correlation was observed between cropland vegetation and meteorological factors in northern China compared to the southern parts; the response time of NDVI values of croplands to precipitation was observed to be short-term (1 to 3 months) and long-term (3 to 6 months) in northern and southern regions, respectively. In contrast, the response time of NDVI values of croplands to PET displayed a complex spatial heterogeneity. Most of the cropland vegetation and the areas with the highest potential crop yields were located in the eastern part of China; these areas also require higher levels of irrigation, which benefits the potential crop yields. This study can provide a better understanding of the agricultural ecosystems and formulate strategies for food security.
