Fig. 2: Vegetation productivity varies across reserves and seasons.

Variation in NDVI across reserves and sampling periods for a black rhino (n = 214) and b Grevy’s zebra (n = 154). The lower, middle and upper horizontal lines show the 25th percentile (lower hinge), and mean and 75th percentile (upper hinge) respectively. Whiskers extend to the largest and smallest values no further than 1.5 times the inter-quartile range away from the hinges. Data points beyond the whiskers are shown as points. Dark blue represents samples taken on Lewa pre-rains, and light blue post-rains. Dark green represents samples taken on Mpala or Ol Jogi pre-rains, and light green post-rains. Dark purple represents samples taken on Ol Pejeta pre-rains, and light purple post-rains. Dark red represents samples taken on Westgate pre-rains and orange post-rains.
