On different degrees of desertification land, there exists different vegetation communities, and spatial structure differences are obvious among different vegetation communities. This study implemented variogram calculation using typical sample selected from the image, adopting a common global optimization method to fit them into the spherical model. The results showed that the difference is obvious among different vegetation communities for the sill and range, such as, the sill and range are smaller for sample variogram of Artemisia halodendron and Salix flavida community than that of Artemisia halodendron and Caragana microphylla community, and the range for sample variogram of Agriophyllum arenarium community is bigger than that of Artemisia halodendron and Salix flavida community, but smaller than that of Artemisia halodendron and Caragana microphylla community. Incorporating the difference of the spatial structure characterization into the vegetation classification can improve sample separation, thereby increasing the overall classification accuracy.
