Abstract
In this paper, we used MODIS remote sensing image data of Songnen Sandy Land in July 2000 and 2010, extracted the value of MSAVI and vegetation cover index. Based on their values, degrees of desertification were classified including: un-desertification, micro-desertification, mild desertification, moderate desertification and severe desertification. The result show that the area of the desertification decreased in the past 10 years. The desertification is under a decreasing trend.
