Changing landscape in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area of Yangtze River from 1977 to 2005: land use/land cover, vegetation cover changes estimated using multi-source satellite data.
TLDR
It is concluded that significant changes in land use/land cover have occurred in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area and the main cause is a continuous economic and urban/rural development, followed by environmental management policies after construction of the Three gorges Dam.About:

Three Gorges Project: Efforts and challenges for the environment
TL;DR: The Three Gorges Project has been subject to intense debates regarding its benefits and costs as discussed by the authors, and the environmental impacts of this huge project have been an important focus of these debates since the project planning stage.

NDVI indicated long-term interannual changes in vegetation activities and their responses to climatic and anthropogenic factors in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region, China.
TL;DR: It is found that anthropogenic factors such as population density, man-made ecological restoration, and urbanization have notable impacts on the T GRR's NDVI variations, and large overall trend slopes in NDVI were more likely to appear in TGRR regions with large fractions of ecological restoration within the last two decades.

Using the SWAT model to assess impacts of land use changes on runoff generation in headwaters
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between land use changes and corresponding hydrological responses in the Dong and Puli River basins in the upstream region of the TGR were quantified using the runoff coefficient.

On the relation between NDVI, fractional vegetation cover, and leaf area index
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple radiative transfer model with vegetation, soil, and atmospheric components is used to illustrate how the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), leaf area index (LAI), and fractional vegetation cover are dependent.
