Abstract: According to the trend of global climate changes and in combination with the elevation factor,the authors simulated the changes of spatial distribution pattern for net primary productivity (NPP) of Sichuan vegetations under 5 combinations of thermal and hydrological conditions using Ecologicol Information System ( EIS ) and the vegetations net primary productivity model.The result indicated that the net primary productivity (NPP)-values of natural vegetation in Sichuan decreases gradually from southeast to northwest.The NPP-values was positively related to precipitation,while negatively related to the PER-values.The relationship between the NPP-values and the elevation is very complicated.The NPP-values were mainly decided by precipitation in the basin,but by the potential evaporating rate (PER) in the transitional region and the plateau.With changes of the global climate,the values and distribution area of NPPwill move from southeast to northwest of Sichuan Province.When the temperature and the precipitation increase by 2.5℃ and 10%,respectively,the NPP-values will increase by 13.76%.When the precipitation increases to 20%,the NPP-values will increase continually to 10.922 TDM·hm-2·yr-1.When the temperature increases by 4℃ and precipitation increases by 10%,the NPP-values will increase by 18.29%.With the decrease of precipitation to P-10%,NPPwill decrease gradually to 9.530 TDM·hm-2·yr-1.
