Terrestrial vegetation dynamics [in "State of the Climate in 2020"].

Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) anomalies showed significant regional variations in the vegetation productivity conditions worldwide in 2020. Overall, the Southern Hemisphere (SH) appeared similar to those years during a La Niña with largest negative anomalies (brown) occurring over Argentina, Paraguay, and Chile and largest positive (dark blue) in eastern Brazil, Malaysia, and Indonesia. However, there were negative anomalies in regions such as Mozambique, southern Madagascar, and most of Australia, except New South Wales.
