Extended Data Fig. 8: Ecosystem sensitivity classes in relation to climate (using EVI data).
From: Shifts in vegetation activity of terrestrial ecosystems attributable to climate trends
(A) The distribution of attribution classes (Extended Data Fig. 7) in bivariate temperature and moisture climate space. Points represent the locations of the 100 study sites in climate space. Attribution classes are the two major groups classified in Extended Data Fig. 7. Sites labelled 0 are sites excluded from Extended Data Fig. 7 because the model could not explain observed anomalies. The colours of the sites labelled 1 and 2 correspond to the groups classified in Extended Data Fig. 7. The ellipses represent the fitted covariance estimates of the classes as estimated by discriminant analysis based on Gaussian finite mixture modelling. (B, C) The shape and direction of the anomaly response (as defined in Extended Data Fig. 5) plotted in bivariate climate space. The mean annual temperature and mean annual soil moisture were calculated over the study period using the ERA5 reanalysis data. Panels D, E and F plot the points in panels A, B and C in geographic space. See Fig. 4 for the same analysis using NDVI data.
