Intensifying global climate change has a significant influence on the vegetation, which is the basis of most of Earth’s ecosystems. It is urgent to identify the critical meteorological elements of vegetation coverage changes to address the problems induced by climate change. Many studies, ranging from theoretical advances to data-driven analyses, have been devoted to investigating meteorological elements’ roles in changing vegetation coverage. However, little has been considered in the aspect of the meteorological elements’ seasonal scale in data-driven studies. Herein, taking China as an example, we collected satellite-derived vegetation coverage data from 2000 to 2020. We then analyzed the meteorological elements, on a seasonal scale, that affect the vegetation coverage change in terms of temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation. We revealed that the critical meteorological elements facilitating vegetation coverage area change differ in both time and space and gave a detailed analysis in line with such findings. Moreover, an apparent seasonal delay effect of meteorological elements on the vegetation coverage change is uncovered.
