Evaluation of the influence of ENSO on tropical vegetation in long time series using a new indicator by Yibo Yan, Kebiao Mao, Xinyi Shen, Mengmeng Cao, Tongren Xu, Zhonghua Guo, Qing Bao

“…The analysis indicated that tropical vegetation exhibited a fluctuating increase state with an overall increasing range of 4.46%, and the greening trends were the most significant and dramatical in the Indian Peninsula (0.0031/y), the coast of the Gulf of Guinea (0.0026/y), and the Amazon River estuary (0.0025/y). ENSO can lead to significant enhancement or degradation of vegetation in at least 10% of tropical regions, especially in East Africa (|VERI| =0.16), Southern Africa (|VERI|=0.18) and Indonesia (|VERI|=0.14). …”

“…Species distribution models suggested that the short-eared dog potentially occurs over an extensive and continuous area, through most of the Amazon region south of the Amazon River. However, approximately 30% of the short-eared dog's current distribution is expected to be lost or suffer sharp declines in habitat suitability by 2027 (within three generations) due to forest loss. …”
