Detection of Multidecadal Changes in Vegetation Dynamics and Association with Intra-annual Climate Variability in the Columbia River Basin
Leaf Area index is widely used metric for the assessment of vegetation dynamics and can be used to assess the impact of regional/local climate conditions. The underlying continuity of high resolution spatio-temporal phenological processes in the presence of extensive missing values poses a number of challenges in the detection of changes at a local and regional level. The feasibility of functional data analysis methods were evaluated to improve the exploration of such data. In this paper, an investigation of multidecadal variation of leaf area index (LAI) is conducted in the Columbia Watershed, as detected by NOAA AVHRR satellite imaging, and its inter- and intra-annual correlation with maximum temperature and precipitation using the ERA-Interim Reanalysis from 1996 to 2017. A functional cluster analysis model was implemented to identify regions in the Columbia Watershed that exhibit similar long-term greening trends. Across these several regions, the primary source of annual LAI variation is a trend toward seasonally earlier and higher recordings of regional average maximum LAI. Further exploratory analysis reveals that although strongly correlated to LAI, maximum temperature and precipitation do not exhibit clear longitudinal trends.
