Water availability as the driver of vegetation dynamics in the African Sahel from 1982 to 2007

In this paper we explore soil moisture as a principal determinant of Sahelian vegetation dynamics for the period 1982–2007 and compare it to the findings obtained with commonly used rainfall as the main driver. We used remotely sensed Normalized Vegetation Diference Index (NDVI) as proxy for the veg...
