Climatic factors driving vegetation declines in the 2005 and 2010 Amazon droughts
Fig 6
(a) Spatial distribution of dry-season NDVI anomalies in 2010; (b-d) spatial distributions of three climatic factors’ anomalies during the period with a certain month’s lag during the 2010 dry season (considering the time-lag effects). Normalized anomalies beyond ±1.0σ represent a significant departure from the average of non-drought year. The black rectangular area represents the common epicenter of the two extreme droughts.
