Fig. 1: Global patterns of historical vegetation resilience changes.
From: ENSO amplifies global vegetation resilience variability in a changing climate
a lag-1 autocorrelation (AC) trend and b variance trend derived from Global Land Surface Satellite Leaf Area Index (GLASS LAI) data from 1981 to 2018. Trends are quantified using the Kendall’s tau statistic. Red regions indicate significant increases in AC or variance, which are indicative of declining vegetation resilience. c Trend agreement between AC and variance. d LAI time series trend (1981–2018). e Proportion of autocorrelation increase (ΔAC > 0) or decrease (ΔAC < 0) in greening (ΔLAI > 0) and browning (ΔLAI < 0) among different vegetation types. Vegetation types: ENF Evergreen Needleleaf Forests, EBF Evergreen Broadleaf Forests, DNF Deciduous Needleleaf Forests, DBF Deciduous Broadleaf Forests, MF Mixed Forests, CS Closed Shrublands, OS Open Shrublands, WS Woody Savannas.
