Critical slowing down of the Amazon forest after increased drought occurrence

We evaluated the critical slowing down response of the Amazon forest using temporal autocorrelation derived from MODIS EVI satellite imagery. We then linked this response to the frequency, intensity and duration of extreme drought events.evi_01_19.tif is a rasterstack of the EVI time series over the Amazon rainforest from January 2001 to December 2019 with a spatial resolution of 0.05°and a temporal resolution of months. evi_tac_01_19.tif is a rasterstack of the TAC time series over the Amazon rainforest from December 2005 to December 2019 with a spatial resolution of 0.05° and a temporal resolution of months. evi_tac_slope_01_19.tif is a rasterlayer of the linear trend in TAC over the Amazon rainforest from December 2005 to December 2019 with a spatial resolution of 0.05°. droughts_80_19.tif is a rasterstack of the droughts time series over the Amazon rainforest from January 1980 to December 2019 with a spatial resolution of 0.05°and a temporal resolution of months.
