Our work deals with the estimation of spatio-temporal vegetation trends in various land use types in a typical Mediterranean country like Greece. Analysis of vegetation during all seasons was performed using remotely sensed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) during 2000–2017 in conjunction with the various land use environments. Results highlighted the dominating vegetation greening all over the country during all seasons. Sporadic spots with a negative vegetation trend were observed in areas that had experienced fire events. Forests and semi-natural areas, characterized by absence of human activities, demonstrated the highest greening vegetation pattern, indicating thus the possible climate change implications. Urban areas, representing the land portions mostly influenced by human interventions, showed a greening pattern, attributed to a combination of increased temperature and CO₂ in those areas, but also highlighted the possible positive environmental footprint of economic recession period that Greece is undergoing during the last decade.

我们的工作涉及在像希腊这样的典型地中海国家中，各种土地利用类型的时空植被趋势估算。在2000-2017年期间，结合不同的土地利用环境，使用遥感归一化植被指数（NDVI）对所有季节的植被进行了分析。结果突出显示了整个季节所有国家的主要植被绿化。在经历过火灾的区域中观察到零星点的植被趋势为负。以没有人类活动为特征的森林和半自然地区显示出最高的绿化植被格局，从而表明了可能的气候变化影响。代表受人为干预主要影响的土地部分的城市地区呈现出绿化格局，₂在这些地区，但也强调了希腊在过去十年中正在经历的经济衰退期可能对环境产生的积极影响。
