Role of within-memory precipitation in determining global memory effects. (a) Sensitivity of NDVI to within-memory precipitation (coefficient of SPI, from MLR model considering antecedent precipitation). (b) Sensitivity of NDVI to contemporary precipitation (coefficient of P, from MLR model without considering antecedent precipitation). (c) Sensitivity of NDVI to NDVIt−1 (coefficient of NDVIt−1, from AR1 model). Areas with no significant relationship (P > 0.05), barren land (mean NDVI < 0.1 for all months), permanent ice, and the percentage of missing values greater than 5% in the CRU TS4.01 climate datasets are not shown. Maps were produced using MATLAB R2016b (http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/).
