From: Vegetation resistance to compound drought and heatwave events buffers the spatial shift velocities of vegetation vulnerability

Fig. 2

Mean velocities of a VLPKNDV and b VLPLCSIF across different biomes. Error bars in (a, b) indicate ±0.5 standard error from the mean velocities of a VLPKNDV and b VLPLCSIF across different biomes. Letters on the horizontal axis in (a, b) represent various biome name abbreviations, with their full names provided in Supplementary TableĀ 1 (1, TSMBF = Tropical and Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forests; 2, TSDBF = Tropical and Subtropical Dry Broadleaf Forests; 3, TSCF = Tropical and Subtropical Coniferous Forests; 4, TBMF = Temperate Broadleaf and Mixed Forests; 5, TCF = Temperate Coniferous Forests; 6, BF = Boreal Forests/Taiga; 7, TSGSS = Tropical and Subtropical Grasslands, Savannas, and Shrublands; 8, TGSS = Temperate Grasslands, Savannas, and Shrubland; 9, FGS = Flooded Grasslands and Savannas; 10, MGS = Montane Grasslands and Shrublands; 11, TUN = Tundra; 12, MFWS = Mediterranean Forests, Woodlands, and Scrub; 13, DXS = Deserts and Xeric Shrublands; and 14, MF = Mangroves Forests). Spatial shift velocities of (c) VLPKNDVI and d VLPLCSIF, both at the <10% quantile. e Mean VLPKNDVI and VLPLCSIF velocities at each latitude. The shaded area in (e) of the latitude line represents the mean VLP ± 0.5 standard error from mean c VLPKNDV and d VLPLCSIF velocities. Spatial shift velocity directions for (f) VLPKNDVI and g VLPLCSIF, both at the <10% quantile. The values of ā€œNā€, ā€œNEā€, ā€œEā€, ā€œSEā€, ā€œSā€, ā€œSWā€, ā€œWā€, and ā€œNWā€ for the color bar in (f, g) represent the directions of north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest, respectively. h The proportion of area in VLPKNDVI and VLPLCSIF velocity directions.
