Climate change and human activities have affected ecological environment in recent decades. This paper investigates the ecological environment change of the Mu Us sandy land based on a combined analysis of land cover and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) change trends. The results show that land cover changed moderately during 1990-2010, and areas experienced conversion accounted for 10% of the total land surface. The NDVI values show an evident increase at about 0.0076 year(-1) during 2000 -2014. This rate is lower than that of Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region (0.0117 year(-1)), but greatly exceeds those of the Three-North Shelter Forest and the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Four categories of grids have been identified for accurate ecological restoration through analyzing the ecological performance index mainly based on land cover and NDVI indicators. The ecological restoration projects laid important foundation for ecological reconstruction in the Mu Us, while the wetting trend has been major climatic factors in vegetation improvement since 2000 (R = 0.687, P
