Abstract：As a main component of terrestrial ecosystem, vegetation has profound effects on the sharp decrease of water and sediment in the Yellow River Basin. In order to research the effects of land use on vegetation coverage in the typical rich and coarse sediment area (Weihe River), this paper chose MSS, TM and HJ-CCD as data sources, applied adjacent images progressive regression analysis method to eliminate the radiometric difference and retrieved vegetation coverage based on NDVI, and used man-computer interactive method to interpret land use. Some conclusions can be drawn as follows. (1) Vegetation coverage in this area has been significantly restored from 1978 to 2010, but changes in vegetation have strong volatility and heterogeneity. (2) Significant changes can be found in land use, and present unique spatial and temporal characteristics. (3) Both of land use transition and land use gradient are conducive to vegetation restoration, but comparatively speaking, land use transition performs better than land use gradient. (4) Effects of land use on vegetation coverage are complex and diverse, and vegetation restoration in this region urgently needs targeted land use transition and land ecological optimization strategies.
