Spatial patterns of different temporal trends of the elevational gradient (EG) of vegetation activities. a The spatial pattern of different categories of the temporal trends in EGndvimax during 1982–2015. b The spatial pattern of different categories of the temporal trends in EGSOS during 1982–2011 over the Northern Hemisphere (north of 30 °N). c The spatial pattern of different categories of the temporal trends in EGEOS during 1982–2011 over the Northern Hemisphere (north of 30 °N). Category colors in this figure correspond to that shown in Fig. 3. Regions marked with dots have statistically significant (p < 0.05 with the F-test) EG values. The area fraction of each of the four different categories in the temporal trends of EGndvimax/EGSOS/EGEOS is shown in the inset at bottom-left for each panel
