Divergent responses of vegetation cover in Southwestern US ecosystems to dry and wet years at different elevations

In the semiarid Southwestern United States, prolonged drought conditions since the early 2000s have resulted in widespread declines of the vegetation productivity in this water-constrained ecosystem, as revealed by analyses of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). However, the spatial p...
