Fig. 5: Moisture (NDMI) and productivity (NDVI) indicators along the transects, grouped by region.

From: Satellite data indicates recent Arctic peatland expansion with warming

Fig. 5

Box plots showing median value and range of peak summer NDVI and NDMI for peat-to-edge transects, Site-mean values grouped by region (A) and change in the mean NDVI and NDMI (B) between the early (1985 to 1995) and late period (2005 to 2015 for High Arctic; 2010 to 2020 for Low Arctic), summarising Fig. 4. A larger distribution indicates higher variability between sites in the region.
