Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation drought and its time-lag link with teleconnection factors on the Loess Plateau by Ming Li, Qingbo Yang, Shengwei Zong, Guiwen Wang, Dawei Zhang

“…New hydrological insights for the region: Findings indicated that: (1) ITVDI is an effective tool for vegetation drought monitoring; (2) the vegetation droughts were primarily characterized by mild to moderate intensity, with spring manifesting the most expansive drought-stressed areas (about 61.89% of pixels); (3) approximately 71.69% of the region exhibited an increasing trend in vegetation drought, particularly in the Ordos Plateau and typical agricultural zones; (4) long-term dependence in vegetation drought patterns was observed in 70.65% of the region, characterized by forest-covered areas becoming wetter, crop-covered areas getting drier, and grass-covered areas shifting from dryness to wetness; (5) the lag time between ITVDI and Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) was generally less than four months (approximately 71.01% of pixels), while ITVDI lagged behind Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) mostly between 6 and 8 months (around 75.77% of pixels); (6) extremum correlation coefficients effectively determined the lag time for vegetation drought behind large-scale circulation factors, considering both monotonic and non-monotonic relationships. …”
