In this study, we synthesize the local climate, mainly temperature and precipitation, and large-scale atmospheric anomalies, El Ni\u00f1o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-connected dynamics, on a vegetative surface in a subtropical mountainous island, the northwest Pacific of Taiwan. We used two decadal photosynthetically active vegetation cover (PV) data (2001\u20132020) from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) reflectance data to portray vegetation dynamics at monthly, seasonal, and annual scales. Results show that PV is positively related to both temperature and precipitation at a monthly timescale across various land cover types, and the log-linear with one-month lagged of precipitation reveals the accumulation of seasonal rainfall having a significant effect on vegetation growth. Using TIMESAT, three annual phenological metrics, SOS (start of growing season), EOS (end of growing season), and LOS (length of growing season), have been derived from PV time series and been related to seasonal rainfall. The delayed SOS was manifestly influenced by a spring drought, &lt;40 mm during February\u2013March. The later SOS led to a ramification on following late EOS, shorter LOS, and reduction of annual NPP. Nevertheless, the summer rainfall (August\u2013October) and EOS had no significant effects on vegetation growth owing to abundant rainfall. Therefore, the SOS associated with spring rainfall, instead of EOS, played an advantageous role in regulating vegetation development in this subtropical island. The PCA (principal component analysis) was applied for PV time series and explored the spatiotemporal patterns connected to local climate and climatic fluctuations for entire Taiwan, North Taiwan, and South Taiwan. The first two components, PC1 and PC2, explained most of data variance (94\u201395%) linked to temporal dynamics of land cover (r &gt; 0.90) which was also regulated by local climate. While the subtle signals of PC3 and PC4 explained 0.1\u20130.4% of the data variance, related to regional drought (r = 0.35\u20130.40) especially in central and southwest Taiwan and ENSO-associated rainfall variation (r = \u22120.40\u2013\u22120.37). Through synthesizing the relationships between vegetation dynamics and climate based on multiple timescales, there will be a comprehensive picture of vegetation growth and its cascading effects on ecosystem productivity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13163298","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,22]],"date-time":"2021-08-22T22:59:27Z","timestamp":1629673167000},"page":"3298","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["The Dynamic of Vegetation Growth with Regular Climate and Climatic Fluctuations in a Subtropical Mountainous Island, Taiwan"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Hsueh-Ching","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth and Life Science, University of Taipei, Taipei 100234, Taiwan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0064-1935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chung-Te","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Science, Tunghai University, Taichung 407224, Taiwan"},{"name":"Center for Ecology and Environment, Tunghai University, Taichung 407224, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2004","DOI":"10.1126\/science.287.5460.2004","article-title":"Contribution of increasing CO2 and climate to carbon storage by ecosystems in the United States","volume":"287","author":"Schimel","year":"2000","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6347","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1305499111","article-title":"Abrupt increases in Amazonian tree mortality due to drought-fire interactions","volume":"111","author":"Brando","year":"2008","journal-title":"Proc.
