Data and code for "Vegetation Dynamics in Semiarid Environments and the Role of Soil Multi-Year Rainfall Reservoirs"

DescriptionThe compressed file contains two folders, one for the characteristic unit size test and one for the rainfall-NDVI cross correlations.The unit size folder contains NDVI images for the dates used to calculate the characteristic unit size, the shape files of the polygons used to delineate the different vegetation types areas and the R code.The rainfall-NDVI cross correlations folder contain the NDVI images for each vegetation type in each region, processes from the original data, and the code for creating the detrended and summed rainfall time series, the detrended NDVI time series and cross-correlation analyses.The rainfall and satellite data are available from the resources listed in the article.
