“…Related studies have found that vegetation changes in the Sahel [18], the tropical Africa [19], the Central Plains of the United States [20], and the Eurasian continent [21] are closely related to the amount of precipitation, while air temperature is the main factor that influences the growth of terrestrial vegetation in the northern Finno-Candea [22], the Arctic [23], and North America [24]. China is located in the monsoon region of eastern Asia, with complex climate types and rich vegetation types.…”

“…Most of the previous studies on the relationship between vegetation remote sensing quantitative factors and climate change have been made using the method of correlation analysis [11,13,19], but the correlation analysis method usually requires that each variable should follow the joint normal distribution; thus, the extreme values of the factors in the analysis process would have a great impact on the results of correlation analysis [30][31][32][33]. Some scholars use the grey relational analysis (GRA) to study the relationship between vegetation index and climatic factors [30,32,34], but related studies are mostly conducted on the overall statistical value or limited sample sites of the study area.…”

“…The main driving factors of vegetation growth are precipitation and temperature (Bonan, 2002). Water availability, often directly related to precipitation and its variability, is the driving factor for most semi-arid regions.…”

“…Water availability, often directly related to precipitation and its variability, is the driving factor for most semi-arid regions. Several studies have been conducted on the response time between precipitation and phenological activity using satellite-based vegetation indices (Nicholson et al, 1990;Los et al, 2006;Camberlin et al, 2007). Vegetation growth patterns and their connection with climate are studied by vegetation phenology (Schwarts, 2013).…”

“…As precipitation levels often correlate positively with vegetation development and primary productivity [measured, for example, by the normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI)] and therefore with food availability in areas with hot climates (Cheke and Holt 1993;Todd et al 2002;Camberlin et al 2007;Ockendon et al 2014), we hypothesise that arid conditions during the summer/autumn in Spain and Morocco may cause limited food availability at these autumn stopover sites, prevent proper refueling and result in lower survival (compare with The most parsimonious model has the lowest corrected AICc value…”
