Terrestrial Vegetation Dynamics
Positive anomalies (increased plant photosynthesis) over the northern-central region of the United States and southern-central Canada (i.e., Great Plains) indicate that vegetation health recovered from last year due to above-average precipitation associated with higher temperatures. In contrast, fire events over the Quebec region resulted in negative annual anomalies (decreased plant photosynthesis) as more than five million hectares of boreal forest burnt. The positive annual anomalies over Europe highlighted that Earth’s surfaces continued the greening trend due to higher temperatures as well as plentiful rainfall.
