MODIS-derived Annual Vegetation Resilience, 2000-2019

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: January 17, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-01-13
This dataset provides estimates of vegetation resilience in the Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) core domain at annual time steps for 2000-2019 and at 300-m spatial resolution. Vegetation resilience is defined as the recovery rate from deviations, due to climate perturbations or disturbances, to the equilibrium state. It is quantified as the negative temporal lag-1 autocorrelation of Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI). Using a time series of MODIS EVI, the vegetation resilience was estimated using a Bayesian dynamic linear model. The mapped vegetation resilience was derived from Terra EVI products (MOD13Q1v061) across 175 ABoVE B grid tiles over the ABoVE core domain. The estimated mean resilience, upper boundary, and lower boundary results are provided for each tile in cloud optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format.
