In the context of global warming, the advancement of vegetation spring phenology due to rising temperatures is well documented. Climate warming also leads to increases in soil moisture (SM) deficit and vapor pressure deficit (VPD). However, as necessary water conditions for vegetation growth, their effects on vegetation spring phenology remain unclear. Therefore, based on the solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) data set, this study extracted the parameters of the start of the season (SOS) of vegetation in spring in China from 2001 to 2018 through the Polyfit-derivative method, the double-logistic Maximum Curvature method and the Timesat method. Secondly, the VPD values of the study period were calculated by using the China meteorological forcing dataset and Penman formula. Finally, Teil-Sen Median trend analysis, Mann-Kendall test and sensitivity analysis were used to clarify the spatio-temporal variation rules of SOS, VPD and SM, and to reveal the influence mechanism of spring SM and VPD on SOS. The results show that: ① SOS first gradually delays with the increase of latitude, and starts to fluctuate steadily at the north of 35°N, with an average SOS on the 130th day of the year; ② In spring, SM and VPD showed a large area of non-significant drying trend, soil moisture decreased at a rate of 0.037 m3/(m3?10 a), VPD increased at a rate of 0.34 hPa/10 a, and SOS showed a large area of non-significant advance trend at a rate of 5.1 d/10 a. ③ SOS in arid areas were most sensitive to the changes of SM and VPD in spring, and with the decrease of SM gradient in spring, the importance of VPD to SOS gradually increased, and the importance of SM gradually decreased. This study is important for understanding and predicting the response of vegetation growth to the change of water conditions under the background of global warming, and for formulating policies to deal with climate change, and can provide scientific basis for ecological environment construction in China.
