NDVI-Based Vegetation Change in Inner Mongolia from 1982 to 2006 and Its Relationship to Climate at the Biome Scale

Figure 3

Variation in monthly NDVI and climatic variables during growing season over the 25 years for the six vegetation types: (a) forest, (b), meadow steppe, (c) typical steppe, (d), desert steppe, (e) desert, and (f) cropland. Monthly𝑃, monthly PET, and monthly 𝑇_mean, 𝑇_max, and 𝑇_min. The green bars denote the trends, and black lines represent the mean values. ***, **, and * indicate 𝑃<0.01, 𝑃<0.05, and 𝑃<0.1, respectively.
