Abstract
Desertification in China, one of the source regions of yellow dust, has been worsen by industrialization and extreme land development, which increases the damage caused by yellow dust in Korea. Because the yellow dust from China affects not only their own country, but also neighboring countries, it is becoming an international problem, and China has been started afforestation projects to prevent excessive desertification with the help of the international community. However, it is only possible for identifying the results of afforestation projects to check afforestation result reports from National Bureau of Statistics of China, which makes it difficult to check out tangible results. Therefore, this study was conducted by using remote sensing technique for monitoring afforestation status of Yulin, shaanxi, China. in which an afforestation project has been carried out steadily. MODIS imagery was used as remote sensing data and it was confirmed that vegetation has been increased
