Vegetation index is an important approach in vegetation monitoring and investigation. SAR data are free with weather condition observing data day and night. Building relationships between SAR data and vegetation indices can contribute to fusing two data to improve temporal monitoring in forest of mountain areas. Therefore, the authors made a statistical analysis between vegetation indices including NDVI, EVI, GVI, NDWI and C band SAR data and then made a comparison about difference of correlation between NDVI, NDWI and X, C, L band SAR data in different forest disturbances in Genhe forest region of Da Hinggan Mountains in Inner Mongolia. The results are as follows: ①PR and interferometry coefficients both have significant negative correlations with optical vegetation indices, PR has strong linear correlations with NDVI, EVI, GVI (R2=0.40~0.49), and interferometry coefficients have strong linear correlations with all optical indices (R2=0.43~0.51). ②Ground cover can affect linear regression between VH and NDVI. Scrub-grass land and fires scars with thick vegetation layer and forest land have a strong linear correlation with NDVI (R2=0.64~0.76). ③The correlations are different for different forest disturbances: In fires scars, NDVI has significant negative correlations with X- band HH, and C band PR and NDWI have a significant positive correlation with C band VH. In deforestation areas, L-band PR has significant negative correlations with NDVI, and L band VV and VH have significant positive correlations with NDWI. In undisturbed forest land, C-band PR has significant negative correlations with NDVI and NDWI.
