The study was carried out for terrestrial ecosystems consisting of 9 biomes and 139 ecoregions during the period of 2001\u20132018. This analysis aimed to diagnose the vegetative response of vegetation to the dominant component of precipitation, which is of particular interest considering the hydroclimatic characteristics of each ecoregion, climate variability, and changes in the origin of precipitation that may occur in the context of climate change. The enhanced vegetation index (EVI) was used as an indicator of vegetation greenness. Without consideration of semi-arid and arid regions and removing the role of temperature and radiation, the results show the maximum VGS to precipitation in boreal high-latitude ecoregions that belong to boreal forest\/taiga: temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands. Few ecoregions, mainly in the Amazon basin, show a negative sensitivity. We also found that vegetation greenness is generally more sensitive to the component that contributes the least to precipitation and is less stable throughout the year. Therefore, most vegetation greenness in Europe is sensitive to changes in PLT and less to PLO. In contrast, the boreal forest\/taiga in northeast Asia and North America is more sensitive to changes in PLO. Finally, in most South American and African ecoregions, where PLT is crucial, the vegetation is more sensitive to PLO, whereas the contrast occurs in the northern and eastern ecoregions of Australia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15194706","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]],"date-time":"2023-09-26T03:45:23Z","timestamp":1695699923000},"page":"4706","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Vegetation Greenness Sensitivity to Precipitation and Its Oceanic and Terrestrial Component in Selected Biomes and Ecoregions of the World"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6783-9025","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milica","family":"Stojanovic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Physics Laboratory (EPhysLab), Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n Mari\u00f1a, Universidade de Vigo, Campus As Lagoas s\/n, 32004 Ourense, Spain"},{"name":"Department Meteorology and Geophysics, Faculty of Physics, Sofia University \u201cSt. Kliment Ohridski\u201d, 1164 Sofia, Bulgaria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6699-4595","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rogert","family":"Sor\u00ed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Physics Laboratory (EPhysLab), Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n Mari\u00f1a, Universidade de Vigo, Campus As Lagoas s\/n, 32004 Ourense, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5638-3387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guergana","family":"Guerova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Meteorology and Geophysics, Faculty of Physics, Sofia University \u201cSt. Kliment Ohridski\u201d, 1164 Sofia, Bulgaria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0505-1918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"V\u00e1zquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Physics Laboratory (EPhysLab), Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n Mari\u00f1a, Universidade de Vigo, Campus As Lagoas s\/n, 32004 Ourense, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8984-0959","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Nieto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Physics Laboratory (EPhysLab), Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n Mari\u00f1a, Universidade de Vigo, Campus As Lagoas s\/n, 32004 Ourense, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luis","family":"Gimeno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Physics Laboratory (EPhysLab), Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n Mari\u00f1a, Universidade de Vigo, Campus As Lagoas s\/n, 32004 Ourense, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e11334","DOI":"10.7717\/peerj.11334","article-title":"Variance of vegetation coverage and its sensitivity to climatic factors in the Irtysh River basin","volume":"9","author":"Han","year":"2021","journal-title":"PeerJ"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6325","DOI":"10.1002\/2014JD021871","article-title":"Improving mesoscale modeling using satellite-derived land surface parameters in the Pearl River Delta region, China","volume":"119","author":"Li","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
