Different Types

Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is commonly used to indicate vegetation density and condition. NDVI was mostly correlated with climate factors. We analyzed changing trends of NDVI in different types of grassland in Inner Mongolia and the response of NDVI to climatic variation from 1982 to 2011. NDVI of meadow steppe increased significantly in spring while it decreased in other seasons. The annual mean NDVI in typical steppe and desert steppe increased significantly in the last 30a. However, in the greatest area of steppe desert, the NDVI had no significant change in summer, autumn, and the growing season. In meadow steppe, typical steppe, and desert steppe, the area showed a positive correlation of NDVI to temperature as highest in spring compared to other seasons, because warming in spring is beneficial to the plant growth. However, in the greatest area of steppe desert, the correlation of NDVI to temperature was not significant. The NDVI was positively correlated to precipitation in four types of grassland. In the steppe desert, the precipitation had no significant effect on the NDVI due to the poor vegetation cover in this region. The NDVI was not significantly correlated to the precipitation in autumn because of vegetation withering in the season and not need precipitation. Precipitation was a more important factor rather than temperature to NDVI in the region. The response of NDVI to temperature and precipitation in different seasons should be studied in more detail and the effect of other factors on NDVI should be considered in future research.

Weiyingzi Culture was early Bronze Age culture developed around Dalinghe and Xiaolinghe River in the west of Yoha. The period was approximately between 1300 - 1000 B.C and the culture was characterized by dominance of Material Culture of the Steppe region, relics including Zhongyuan-style bronze ritual ware, tomb system using wooden coffins, and so on. The typical type of the Culture was earthen cookware with three legs which was represented by flower-pattern decoration along the mouth (huabiankouyanli, 花邊口沿 鬲 ), patternless blown belly (tongfuli, 筒腹 鬲 ), and combined form of flat-bottom and patternless rice bowel (bo, 鉢). This study attempted a preliminary study for reinvestigation on the characteristics and formation process of Weiyingzi Culture by removing differences in recognition and errors in previous studies on such themes and finding out inherent characteristics and external factors of the Culture. In conclusion, one of the reasons for the formation of Weiyingzi Culture in around 1300 B.C. was introduction of Material Culture of the Steppe region, which was also found in the surrounding areas such as Hebei, southeast of Inner Mongolia, and Fuxin. In consideration of the distribution status and characteristics of buried ritual bronzeware in Zhongyuan and that the Material Culture of the Steppe was widely found in Shanxi and north region of Shanxi along the migration route of the Steppe tribe, it was assumed that the migration route of the Weiyingzi Culture was via Ordos Plateau, passing through Liaoxi Zoulang region in the northeast of Hebei. Weiyingzi Culture is suspected to have brought by those who contacted Zhongyuan Culture. Meanwhile, it was noted that Weiyingzi Culture has a few significant factors inherent in Gaotaishan. Since Gaotaishan culture had also strong characteristics of Steppe Culture, it was suspected that the people who remained in that area could accept Steppe Culture easily. As for the surrounding areas, community group who had strong color of Upper Zhangjiayuan Culture advanced to the borderline region with Hebei. Xiquegou-decendant community group who had more connected with Lower Xiajiadian Culture advanced to the borderline regions with southeast of Inner Mongolia and Liaoxi. In the borderline regions with Liaoxi and Liadong, community group of Gaotaishan culture lived there. People in those areas accepted Material Culture of the Steppe region which started to get in from the west without much resistance while the Lower Xiajiadian Culture that had dominated these areas for about 500 years still remained. In that aspect, there was high possibility of significant level of affinity and cultural exchange, although the background cultures were different to each other. It was found that part of natives who remained in Liaoxi area after being subjected to Lower Xiajiadian Culture had blood ties and cultural connections with Gaotaishan culture in the East. Based on that, it was assumed that they selectively accepted Material Culture of the Steppe region flown into that area via Zhongyuan and Hebei and contributed to the formation of Weiyingzi Culture.
