Temporal Patterns of Shrub Vegetation and Variation with Precipitation in Gurbantunggut Desert, Central Asia Table 3 Cross-season correlation coefficients between NDVI and precipitation in different combinations of time periods for the shrubland within Gurbantunggut Desert. The numbers in the first row indicated the periods for which precipitation was accumulated (1 indicated the current 16-day period, 2 indicated the sum of the current period and the first previous period, 3 indicated the sum of the current period, the first previous period, and the second previous period, etc.). The numbers in the first column indicated the time lags for the precipitation (0 indicated the current 16-day period, 1 indicated the first previous period, etc.).
