Fig. 1: The relationship between BL fraction and VOD for the Amazon basin.
From: Pronounced loss of Amazon rainforest resilience since the early 2000s
a, Time series of MODIS Land Cover evergreen BL fraction and VODCA Ku-band product. Changes in BL fraction expressed as the percentage of grid cells that have BL fraction ≥80% in each year, compared to the number of grid cells that had BL fraction ≥80% in 2001, and VOD is the monthly mean. b, Changes in the BL fraction from 2001 to 2016 for grid cells where the BL fraction is ≥80% in 2001. c, Changes in VOD from 1991 to 2016 (difference between the 2012–2016 and 1991–1995 means) for the grid cells where the BL fraction was ≥80% in 2001. Country outlines were provided by the ‘maps’ package in R and Amazon basin outline was created from http://worldmap.harvard.edu/data/geonode:amapoly_ivb (Methods).
