•From 2003 to 2020, Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC) increased at a rate of 0.19•Due to the differences in topography and landforms, the FVC in the Yellow River Basin presents obvious spatial differences.•FVC in 73% of the basin shows high stability.•There is obvious seasonal characteristics of FVC...
