(A) Trend in changes of the satellite-observed growing season (from April to October) leaf area index (LAI). AVHRR, Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. (B) Trend in changes of the forest cover fraction (%) reconstructed from maps of plant functional type (PFT), which incorporate spatial information from the 1:1,000,000 Chinese vegetation map and statistical information from the provincial forest inventories (see Materials and Methods). The shaded area indicates the statistical significance of the linear trend at the 95% confidence level.
