a RGB composite map of beliefs in ‘increase’, ‘stable’, and ‘decline’ conditions modeled from the 35-year window of the entire study time (n.b., the vertical stripes were due to the mosaic of satellite image scenes). b Map series stack of beliefs in ‘increase’ from decadal moving-window sliding one year step each time, with each year on the x-axis representing the belief in rangeland productivity increase during its previous 10-year. For example, a dramatic jump in the statistical belief (circle in red) in 2012 shows an improved rangeland condition during 2003–2012.
