However, the effect of climate change is expected to vary from one land-cover type to another, due to the change in vegetation and environmental conditions. Therefore, it is pertinent to understand the effect of climate change by land-cover type to understand the regions that are most vulnerable to climate change. Hence, in this study we analyzed the temporal statistical trends (2001\u20132016) of the MODIS13Q1 normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to explore whether there are differences, by land-cover class and phytoclimatic type, in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands. We found 7.6% significant negative NDVI trends and 11.8% significant positive NDVI trends. Spatial patterns showed a non-random distribution. The Atlantic biogeographical region showed an unexpected 21% significant negative NDVI trends, and the Alpine region showed only 3.1% significant negative NDVI trends. We also found statistical differences between NDVI trends by land cover and phytoclimatic type. Variance explained by these variables was up to 35%. Positive trends were explained, above all, by land occupations, and negative trends were explained by phytoclimates. Warmer phytoclimatic classes of every general type and forest, as well as some agriculture land covers, showed negative trends.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi8010043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,18]],"date-time":"2019-01-18T02:22:23Z","timestamp":1547778143000},"page":"43","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Recent NDVI Trends in Mainland Spain: Land-Cover and Phytoclimatic-Type Implications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3501-7051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos J.","family":"Novillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Tecnolog\u00eda Qu\u00edmica y Ambiental, ESCET, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, C\/Tulip\u00e1n s\/n, M\u00f3stoles, 28933 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1944-777X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia","family":"Arrogante-Funes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Tecnolog\u00eda Qu\u00edmica y Ambiental, ESCET, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, C\/Tulip\u00e1n s\/n, M\u00f3stoles, 28933 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5700-2184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ra\u00fal","family":"Romero-Calcerrada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geography Group, Departamento de Ciencias de la Educaci\u00f3n, Lenguaje, Cultura y Artes, Ciencias Hist\u00f3rica-Jur\u00eddicas y Human\u00edsticas y Lenguas Modernas, Facultad de Ciencias Jur\u00eddicas y Sociales, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Paseo de los Artilleros s\/n, Vic\u00e1lvaro, 28032 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"074016","DOI":"10.1088\/1748-9326\/aa7145","article-title":"Vegetation anomalies caused by antecedent precipitation in most of the world","volume":"12","author":"Papagiannopoulou","year":"2017","journal-title":"Environ.
